Film director Kiran Rao has joined the jury for the 2022 All-Biological and Environmental Film Festival (ALT EFF), scheduled to take place from November 17th to November 27th.
Rao, who made his directorial debut in 2011 with ‘Dhobi Gat’ and has produced films such as ‘Dhangal’ and ‘Lal Singh Chadda’, said he had a great time as part of the jury at the India Gala. The only film festival focused on sustainability, nature and the environment.
“This festival has always been actively working to spread environmental awareness, and we are very happy to be invited to participate. There are some really good movies to do.
“ALT EFF is an urgent initiative and a great example of how movies can change our perspectives and habits and help us protect the natural world. I hope they truly understand that is one planet and that all life is interconnected,” Rao, who is also co-founder of the NGO Pani Foundation, said in a statement. .
Conceived by environmental entrepreneur Kunal Khanna, ALT EFF will feature 55 films in its next edition.
Launched in 2020 in a virtual format, the festival will be held in a hybrid format this year, with virtual and limited physical screenings.
