Space-Themed Film Competition for College Students
College students with an interest in filmmaking, storytelling, cinematography, and space can participate in the NSSC 2026 Short Film Making Challenge, organized as part of the National Students' Space Challenge (NSSC) 2026 at IIT Kharagpur.
The team-based event invites students to transform ideas about space, exploration, mystery, and humanity's future among the stars into original short films.
Participants can choose different storytelling approaches, including fiction, documentary-style filmmaking, or experimental cinema, while exploring the theme of space through their own creative perspective.
