Maya Academy of Advanced Cinematics, Bangalore (MAAC), the leading 3D animation and VFX Institute, announced that ‘The Resilient Bangalore Traffic Cop’, a documentary made by 14 students of MAAC won the ‘Special Jury’ award at the 2nd edition of Rolling Frames Short Film Festival on July 6, in Bangalore. The award was handed over by T.S. Nagabharana, National Award Cine Director and Chairman of Rolling Frames Society.

 

The Rolling Frames is in its second edition and is supported by Suchitra Film Society and Karnataka Film Federation. This year 298 films participated of which 17 films were selected and screened.

 

The 17-minute documentary portrays the other side  of the Bangalore Traffic Police who are often perceived as malleable, physically unfit and unnecessarily obtrusive by depicting the police’s side of the story as more balanced and positive. It delves into the arduous lives of the cops and the health and safety hazards posed by their job. The project has been filmed by a crew of 14 students from MAAC Bangalore centers, using professional, high end equipment, in collaboration with the Bangalore Traffic Police. 

 

 

 

 

 

On this occasion, Mr. Shajan Samuel, Senior Vice President, MAAC said, “The Rolling Frames award is an endorsement of the effort made by MAAC students in bringing the other side of the Bangalore Traffic Cop. We are glad that our effort has been recognized by Rolling Frames and this award will motivate our students to attempt similar projects in the future as well.”
