About Quotes from the Earth

>

In 2004, Toxics Link, and the India International Centre, with the support of the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation, launched "Quotes from the Earth,” the first of its kind environmental film festival in the Indian Capital. The film festival uses a discursive platform to highlight environmental challenges at the national and international levels through films, which are one of the most prominent mediums of communication.The festival brings together the persistent and persuasive films on various key environmental issues, ranging from vanishing biodiversity to rampant mining, lives of indigenous communities to global climate crisis, lakes and river contamination to forest conservation, and household waste to solutions for combatting global energy challenges.Since its inception, it has attracted films and filmmakers from across the globe. During the film festival, panel discussions are also conducted to provide the audience with a wider context of the meaning of films and their significance in bringing about societal change.

               

Format of the Festival

The festival runs as a 2-day event that goes beyond viewing films. It showcases around 25-30 films, followed by a Q&A session with the directors after the screening of each film. The films screened are an amalgamation of documentaries, animation films, and feature films developed by renowned and budding filmmakers across the world. A panel discussion with eminent journalists, environmentalists, academicians, filmmakers, policymakers, and personalities from civil society organisations is also conducted on relevant topics during the film festival.
