One Billion Eyes - Indian Documentary Film Festival on 'Ecology, Earth & Environment' August 16, 2009

One Billion Eyes - Indian Documentary Film Festival on 'Ecology, Earth & Environment'. The fifth year of One Billion Eyes, the Indian Documentary Film Festival 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 Franaise of Madras.
