All Living Things Environmental Film Festival (ALT EFF) is a platform launched in 2020 in Panchgani, Maharashtra that inspires climate awareness and action at scale through the power of cinema. The festival increases awareness and empathy to inspire climate action locally and at large. With plenty of global flair and an Indian flavour, ALT EFF curates the best of environmental films every year and cultivates audiences across borders, linguistics and classes of the society.
The All Living Things Environmental Film Festival (ALT EFF) debuted with its decentralised approach in 2022 as it travelled pan India enabling in-person screenings, panel discussions, film-maker Q&A’s and much more. Some of the films showcased at the festival included “All That Breathes” by Shaunak Sen, “The Keepers of Corn” by Gustavo Vazquez, “Colonies in Conflict” by Rajani Mani and “The Seeds of Vandana Shiva” by Camilla Becket, among others.
With film at its core, the festival creates spaces and experiences by facilitating environmental
dialogue, debate and participation both online (free and pay-as-you-feel model) and in-person
events.
