ONE BILLION EYES
Venue: Alliance Francise
http://www.abillioneyes.in/
The fifth year of One Billion Eyes,
the Indian Documentary Film Festival curated by Prakriti Foundation is
back for its annual showcasing of documentary and short films. This Year’s
theme is “Ecology, Earth and Environment”.
With global attention focused on
climate change this is an issue that concerns us in India at several levels.
From the much-publicized Narmada Bachao Andolan to the missing tigers of
India, every state seems to have “green” issues it needs to tackle at the
urban and rural level. The commodification of American seeds into our farms,
the missing of several species, being decimated annually, the issues of
human-animal conflict, the pollution from our cities and our lax attitude
to all of these are to be showcased at the festival with simultaneous events
of talks by leading activists in the world of environmental studies and
an exciting drawing exhibition by children. As usual a jury will decide
the best movie.
Prakriti Foundation is proud to co-present
this with its cultural collaborator the Alliance Francaise of Chennai.
