Two students of the Masters of Design Film & Video — Pramati Anand and Varun Sharma — visited Suzhou, Jiangsu province in China to attend the youth film project in 2018.

Looking China is sponsored by the Academy for International Communication of Chinese Culture, Beijing Normal University and every year, nearly 100 international communication/media students from all over the world are invited to make individual short documentaries on aspects of Chinese culture, at various locations across the country.

Pramati and Varun visited China with professor Arun Gupta, principal faculty of Film and Video at NID, who was the international faculty supervisor to eight more international students from the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Hungary, Serbia, and Iran, and 10 local Chinese students.

The theme of this year's films was nature and ecology and its dynamic and organic relationship with human life and culture. While Varun's documentary called 'Path Ways' was on particular paths and their users at the renowned Humble Administrator's Garden, Pramati's documentary 'In Search of Fireflies' told the story of an alternative 'forest' school for young urban kids, run by a single mother called Lucy.
