About Synergia Campus Youth Forum --
The Synergia Campus Youth Forum is a collective born from the creative energy of students and faculty who came together to seek innovative ways of self-expression and social engagement.

Formed during the COVID-19 pandemic as a response to the isolation and challenges of locked-down life, the Forum has evolved into a vibrant community focused on using cinema and media to address pressing societal concerns.

The Forum’s journey began with Synergia '22, a two-day campus film festival that showcased student films, curated film packages, and cultural performances, laying the foundation for a tradition of celebrating young cinematic talent. Building on this success, the Forum has then initiated several impactful events including a two-day immersive residential film camp, and Campus-On-Reels Travelling Film Festival, which takes selected films from the festival to campuses across Kerala.

About Chetana Media Institute --
As one of the key patrons of the festival, Chetana Media Institute, Thrissur, stands apart as a premier center for media training and professional development. Established in 2002 under the aegis of CMI Devamatha Province, Chetana Media Institute has cultivated a reputation for delivering versatile and practical training in Digital Filmmaking, empowering students to Write, Shoot, and Edit cost-effective films for the digital age.

With a robust curriculum built on Instruction, Production, and Interaction, Chetana provides comprehensive, production-oriented media training designed to create industry-ready professionals.
