TASI opens registration centers across multiple cities

TASI has taken a couple of new initiatives in order to make it easier for people to register for Anifest India 2009. Various registration centers have been opened all across Mumbai from where animation lovers can pick up their passes.

TASI recently visited Pune and is glad to announce that for the first time, it has opened 4 registration centres in the city. Active co-operation from training institutes and local individuals has made this possible. We see a huge potential in initiating a pro-active animation community movement in Pune and artists can rest assured to more TASI events in the city in the coming months.

Update: TASI has also opened registration centers in Kolkata, Ahmedabad and Bangalore.

Every year students walk away with a bag full of goodies. Its time we felt that their Gurus should be given a chance to showcase their talent. TASI feels this will also encourage individual film making by those in the education sector who are busy making experts.
