The University Film Club, Aligarh Muslim University was established during the academic session 1973-1974 with the aim to promote cinematic culture among the students and to encourage a milieu where 'poetry in motion' becomes one of greatest sources for their aesthetic and academic excellence. It is essential that every student be given the opportunity to explore the creative world and keeping thi

s mind, the club serves as the platform and has assiduously undertaken the task of blending conventional education with aesthetics. Since its birth, the club has been serving as the platform for students to explore the creative world of cinema. It not only screens great films of all times, of all languages and region, for the students but also organizes workshops, film quiz competitions, interactive sessions with film personalities, essay competitions and the like to constantly motivate the students to perceive in a distinct manner the subject of moving images. In those days of yore, Kennedy Auditorium was used for screening the films with the aid of RCA 35 mm projector and film reels. The cost of operating the club and purchase of film reels were huge and the club managed its activity by way of sale of tickets to the students and staff. However, with development of ICT facilities, film screening became an easy affair and the tickets and passes lost their sheen. The Kennedy auditorium with its two RCA 35 MM Film Projectors, along with the giant 800 sq. movable Cinemascope screen is the only functional solid state projector and movable cinema screen of India. The Secretary of the club is appointed from amongst the members by the Vice-Chancellor of the university on the recommendation of the selection committee held for the purpose. The Secretary in turn appointed five members as executive members on the basis of seniority. For being appointed as Secretary, the member must have been a regular member for the last two years and must have participated in the club activities regularly. Filmsaaz, the short film festival which was conceived by Mr. Adil Hossain, the then Secretary in 2008 has achieved the distinction of being the most celebrated event of the club and off course of the university. In 2013, under the Secretary-ship of Mr. Arif Md Yeasin Jwadder, the festival catapulted its way to become an international short film festival from national festival. Filmsaaz is the only short film festival organised by students body of a university in India. The University Film Club can proudly boast of along list of illustrious alumni who have created their own niche in the world of cinema. The list of alumni is endless who left their mark in the film fraternity.
