A Voyeur's sneak peek

Sunday, January 13, 2008
0420 hrs

Half a kilometer away from the host venue, the DAM(ned) HQs - Maddy and Surbhi's house (which is our screening ground for shortlisting received films and now resembles a place which has shortly before been visited by a hurricane) - We are reminded of the screening discipline instilled in us by AS since semester 1, for the screening marathon we partake in to inch closer to DAM. Voyeur says that the entries show a lot of promise and the animation section is one to watch out for, with few but really solid, a**kicking entries! And is more than pleasantly surprised to see that documentaries can entertain too! Keep watching the space below for more gossip from the DAM and a voyeur's sneak peeks :)

The Happy Voyeur
