Films for sustainability

A still from the film, Dhivarah that’s part of the festival

Panchgani’s All Living Things Environmental Film Festival (ALTEFF) is set to make a comeback this year, from October 9 to 17. This year’s edition will feature a collection of 44 films from 31 countries, and 33 of them are set to premiere in the country for the first time. Similar to last year’s version, this edition will be held virtually too, and will offer 10 curated film bundles for attendees to choose from. These bundles are available on the festival’s website (watch.eventive.org/alteff2021) along with individual film passes. “The themes in these films are quite creative. Along with the bundles that we have, we’ve also organised nine live events, similar to last year’s edition; these are free to access and aren’t ticketed. These events will cover interesting topics like sustainable agriculture, food and more. We also have events with conservationists from North East India and places like Uganda as well,” festival director Kunal Khanna said.
