National Centre of Films For Children & Young People (N’CYP)

National Centre of Films For Children & Young People (N’CYP), earlier known as Children’s Film Society, India, was formed in 1955 with the aim of harnessing the medium of films to provide healthy entertainment to the children and young people, thereby providing an alternate to commercial cinema which is said to cause adverse impact on children. The aim and hope has been to contribute to the process of better upbringing of young generations, utilising this highly effective medium – Cinema and T.V. The present activities include: a) Production and procurement of films and T.V. serials and their dubbing in Indian languages. b) Exhibition of these through Theatres, Schools and T.V. c) Conduct of International Festival of Films for Children and Young People and participation in such festivals abroad. d) Production of animation films. Films produced by the Centre are entered in various National and Internatioanl Film Festivals. The Centre also organises its own International Film Festival which is held every alternate year.
