About All Living Things Environmental Film Festival (ALT EFF)

All Living Things Environmental Film Festival (ALT EFF), is an Indian environmental film festival that showcases films on climate change and other environmental issues. ALT EFF catalyses climate action towards co-creating a more sustainable, just future for all living things by bringing the potent medium of cinema to diverse demographics across India and the world.

Through participatory discussions, workshops, live performances, and of course, eye-opening cinema, ALT EFF is a home for resilience in these difficult times. We see ourselves as a place to change mindsets and spark hope, to strengthen communities and spotlight solutions.

Rooted in India, ALT EFF is a destination for universal stories that transcend borders and focus on what unites humanity: our relationship with nature.
