'Sherni' director Amit Masurkar roped in as key jury member of third edition for one of India’s only environmental film festivals

One of India’s only film festivals focused on sustainability and the environment to have 55 films at the festival this year starting 17th November

All Living Things Environmental Film Festival is back this year with an exciting new array of films from across the globe. Started with a strong intent to promote and stir a conversation on nature, conservation, and the environment at large, the festival is the brainchild of Kunal Khanna. This year the festival will have 55 films as part of the lineup with 33 exclusive India premieres lined up.

One of the most exciting developments is that Sherni director, Amit Masurkar has come on board as a member of the jury this year. Amit’s film deals with the subject of wildlife conservation and a human-wildlife conflict which is in sync with the purpose of the festival. Not only that, but the festival this year will also be having its first ever offline screenings of key films across multiple cities in India and the festival is completely free of cost for its virtual leg. The festival kicks off on 17th November and will be on through till 27th November.

"Climate change is real and we are facing serious consequences of years of environmental degradation today. ALT EFF is helping create awareness and steer public opinion in favour of conservation and animal rights. I’m honoured to be part of this year's jury and I look forward to watching incredible films from all over the world that have been curated to create a positive change in our thinking and behaviour," said Amit.
