(Mumbai, India)–– Students of Whistling Woods International (WWI) and CU Denver's College of Arts & Media (CAM) are set to receive increased international exposure and academic opportunities as the institutions announced a collaboration between their film departments.

Students and faculty at both universities will work together to facilitate development, knowledge exchange, joint research, co-production, and cultural dialogues for their faculty and students.

Speaking about the partnership, Rahul Puri, Head of Academics, WWI said, “Since our inception, we have consciously instituted academic affiliations with centers of excellence across the world. This ensures that students have access to opportunities that will augment their careers. We are very happy to partner with CAM and believe the association will fuel intellectual discussions at an international level.”

Roma Sur, Faculty Lead, Bollywood Connections, CU Denver, said, “I am truly excited about this partnership between the film programme at CAM and WWI, Mumbai. The two schools collaborated for the first time in 2019 when CAM students flew out to produce a short bilingual film in collaboration with their cohorts at WWI. This partnership will open up unlimited learning opportunities for students from both institutes and many cross-cultural narratives will be born in fiction and non-fiction cinema.”
