FILM & ART – SHOWCASE

Multidimension is an initiative taken by its founder-director, Jayanta Chakrabarty, based on a long-term vision and ambition to build a networked communications infrastructure with the participation of technology and creative professionals from diverse backgrounds living in France, and to reach out to other like-minded people around the world.

The journey began in 2011 by bringing together a group of youths from the Indian subcontinent diaspora to encourage them to understand their roots and their role in a multi-ethnic and multicultural society like France, awakening their curiosity and broadening their perspective and worldview.
Many of the earlier videos bear witness to storytelling by those who had never held a camera before.

Art is born of social dialogue, anyone can become an artist.
