Dear Filmmakers,
On behalf of CMS VATAVARAN team, I am glad to personally
welcome you the 10th edition of CMS VATAVARAN – International Environment and
Wildlife Film Festival, scheduled for November 2019 in New Delhi.
CMS VATAVARAN is a pioneering international festival of
films on environment and wildlife, initiated in 2002. Using films as a window
to delve into nature, the festival showcases the best of Indian and
International films and documentaries, presenting nature stories from all over
the world, stories on critical ecological and developmental challenges faced
today, some of the most compelling practices, as well as enchanting snippets on
the diversity of our planet. Do go thru our website for more details and for
visiting our previous festivals and efforts to enhance understanding of the
natural world and its conservation.
This edition of the festival is focusing on theme
“Celebrating Himalayas” in an attempt to highlight the importance of the
spectacular mountain ecosystem in the current climate change discourse and
action. We encourage Film makers to further explore this theme and make films
to showcase the spirit and serenity of this majestic region.
By sending your film to this unique festival, you get a
unique opportunity for showcasing your films across a wide variety of platforms
and stakeholders. Nominated films of CMS VATAVARAN travel across India and the
world to various other festivals, seminars, theatres, universities, television
channels and forums. The aim is to not only to showcase these films among film
lovers, critics, buyers, broadcasters, but also to policy makers, scientists,
experts, media, students and communities interested in participating in efforts
to conserve and preserve our environment or to address contemporary
environmental issues.
CMS VATAVARAN is also respected widely for the high
standards it has set in the judging of films – the impartiality of the process
and involvement of eminent personalities from across a wide spectrum. Selection
of your film in this festival will therefore be an acknowledgment of your
creativity and ingenuity, in addition to opening doors to new learning and
opportunities.
We look forward to receiving your film to this acclaimed
film festival and hope your film is nominated, and also wins the prestigious
CMS VATAVARAN Awards.
Do join us in New Delhi for an exciting, vibrant and
fruitful festival in November 2019. I am sure you will really find
participation in this festival worthwhile and inspiring.
Thank you for being part of this green movement for
influencing policy, perception and practice!
