Since the dawn of time, storytelling in community has shaped our mindset, our outlook and ultimately, our behaviour. With record heat, oscillating droughts & floods,

fires, melting glaciers (and ... you know the rest) our current narrative needs some course correcting.

All Living Things Environmental Film Festival (ALT EFF) is back for a 4th edition, pan-India cultural event. Join us at Alliance Francaise for a unique evening of cinema, art & community. Watch award-winning global films on regeneration, activism, resilience and hope and engage in conversations with India’s most inspiring change-makers. Let’s restore the narrative of stewardship, together. All are welcome!
