Screenings & Recognition: First Screening: North Virginia Community College, USA (Cultural Exchange Programme, 2007). 2nd: Kolkata International Film Festival, 2007. SYNOPSIS: A Heritage Documentary- With the Dreams of Light is a landmark documentary created by the students of the Mass Communication Department of Adult Continuing Education & Extension, Jadavpur University. Completed two decades ago, it holds the distinction of being the first official documentary film produced by the University. Over time, the film has evolved into a heritage document capturing not just the institution but also becoming a part of its living legacy. The film traces the origins of Jadavpur University to the National Council of Education, founded during the Swadeshi movement as a bold assertion of indigenous education. It reflects an era when the spirit of freedom and intellectual pursuit converged, drawing visionaries such as Aurobindo Ghosh into its founding philosophy. The documentary pays tribute to this legacy while connecting it to the University’s evolving identity. The film offers a nuanced portrayal of campus life, its academic excellence, vibrant extracurricular culture, and strong emphasis on sports and collective engagement. It presents a visual chronicle of an institution committed to the holistic development of mind, body, and creativity. Entirely produced by the dynamic and spirited group of students, the film stands as a testament to the spirit of inquiry, creativity, and documentation. Today, it serves as an invaluable archive, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the University’s past through the lens of those who were themselves part of its journey. REFERENCE: Lamp in the Lotus.
