Answering questions, Nafisa told the seminar on 'Capturing Children’s Imagination' that the CFSI was also concerned about educating people about sex education to prevent molestation of young children.

Organised by the Public Service Broadcasting Trust (PSBT) in collaboration with Prasar Bharati, UNESCO, Max Mueller Bhavan and Input, the Open Frame 2007 Festival being held between 23 and 29 August is also featuring discussions, forums, colloquiums, and workshops in addition to screening of films.

Nafisa also informed the participants about the !5th International Children’s Film Festival of India at Hyderabad from November 14 to 20 organised by CFSI.

Nutan stressed that films made for children had to adhere to certain standards and filmmakers had to be careful about what they put in their films.

The speakers from the dais and the audience generally referred to violence in cinema today and even referred to children’s programmes and animation films which were meant for children but were in fact full of violence.

Other subjects taken up in various forums included film as a political tool, documentary as a record and archive, how to read a documentary, private broadcasting and public responsibility and a script development workshop for children’s films.
