Film 1 : The Lost Forest
Ishani K Dutta| 20 mins| English
About the film:
A sacred grove that held in its heart secrets of a bygone era. A forest of conflicts, which tradition named Mangerbani. Whether it could be defined as a forest became a big bone of contention. The Manger Draft Development Plan 2031 permits 22 kinds of real estate activities to happen inside a green belt of Aravallis, which is in stark contrast to the Regional Plan 2021 for NCR. Maybe that’s because land comes at a premium here, because if it is not a forest there’s no need to conserve it; because developers are waiting to pounce on it, and they mean big money. The fate of Mangerbani seems to be already sealed. It’s already a lost forest; a forest that isn’t there.
About the film maker :
Ishani set up Carrot Communications, a film production company in 2000. Prior to that she had worked with several television channels like Zee News, Zee Telefilms, Star Television etc. She also teaches at the Delhi School of Communications and is a visiting faculty at other institutes.
Film 2 : Timabktu
Rintu Thomas and Susmit Ghosh| 30 mins| PSBT| English
(awarded the National Award for the best environmental film)
About the film : This is a film about a unique initiative. It narrates how a small group of development activists, committed to developmental and ecological regeneration, found ways to heal and regenerate a piece of dry, degraded land, and create an agro forest habitat in Andhra Pradesh's Anantapur district. Timbaktu explores critical issues of food security and sovereignty. It looks at the relationship that a farmer shares with her land, her seeds and raises critical questions about food.
About the film makers : Rintu Thomas and Sushmit Ghosh are award winning filmmakers who have produced and directed films that explore issues of gender and sexuality, HIV AIDS, street children, disability, maternal and child health and environment. They founded Black Ticket Films, a film production
agency that has been recognised for creating films with a unique visual language.
