Art of failure

Abstract

In today's rapidly evolving world, the younger generations (Y and Z) are significantly influenced by Western culture, raising questions about the need for censorship. India, being a culturally diverse country, considers films as a medium of communication for both fictional and non-fictional narratives. It becomes essential to carefully regulate and supervise the content before it reaches the general public. Some films are subjected to alterations to adhere to prevailing norms and standards. Thus, the Cinematograph Act of 1952 was enacted to uphold morality, cultural values, and ensure social harmony by providing guidelines. However, the pertinent issue remains: how does the system of censorship sometimes fall short? This project aims to address this question with edutainment and interactive installation, inspired by 3D cinema glasses, which seeks to enlighten the younger generation about the failures and challenges faced by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). By engaging with this installation, viewers can gain a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding censorship in the film industry
