ABOUT THIS CURATION"Take a closer look at what's around you: do you see beauty and value in what was once vilified or ignored? This bucket nudges us towards rediscovering empathy and questioning systems while acknowledging the realities of native species, peoples and geographies" FILM DETAILS:

Amid endless weedy fields, a hidden garden is lovingly tended by the Gardener. When a fierce storm floods it with weed seeds, it turns into a life-and-death battle for the garden's survival.

Amu Darya: River to a Missing Sea

In India's Charotar region, people live in harmony with marsh crocodiles, India's largest freshwater predator. With fewer than ten attacks in ten years, this coexistence is remarkable. Phir Bhi follows these communities to understand their deep tolerance, their challenges, and how collective care shapes a shared future with wildlife.

Phir Bhi (Even So)

Dooars is the geographical corridor between India and Bhutan at the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas. Filmed over three and a half years, it captures remarkable biodiversity and human-wildlife stories. It tells of a rare coexistence between past and future, the evolving human-wildlife relationship in the Dooars.

The Dooars World

Along California's coastline, once-thriving kelp forests are vanishing, consumed by unchecked sea urchin populations and erratic environmental shifts. In Monterey Bay, home to one of the nation's largest marine protected areas, scientists, conservationists, and volunteers race against time to restore this vital habitat before it disappears completely.

Keepers of the Kelp Forest

This film tells the story of three generations of Kheria Sabar women resisting cultural erasure. While history recalls punitive violence against Sabar men, it foregrounds women's invisible wounds, showing how climate crisis, biodiversity loss, and migration extend state violence with a deeply gendered impact.

After The World Ends... It Begins Again

Karma Gaabo Re offers an intimate glimpse into the Baiga tribe of Madhya Pradesh, displaced from their ancestral forests yet holding on to echoes of their heritage. Through songs, dances, and rituals, the film captures a resilient people whose deep connection with land and tradition continues to endure.

Karma Gaabo Re.

Films. They’re portals. Small cracks where grief, rage, beauty and the possibility of change seep in.  Every year, we curate films that matter and invite you to watch them with your community.  That’s why we created Watch Party: a simple way to gather wherever you are and let films do the talking. Stream ALT EFF films in your space, on your terms, with our carefully chosen lineup. We also provide a party-starter kit, exclusive filmmaker interviews, and sleek ALT EFF templates to get the conversation rolling.  It’s an invitation, thoughtful, non-preachy, to talk about the big issues (cough couch, climate collapse) without jargon or judgement.
