ABOUT THIS CURATIONAll around us are things that elicit disbelief, disillusionment and awe; the reality we're living in IS absurd; these films poke at the odd-shaped corners of our reality and in doing so, make catharsis possible.

In a Maharashtrian village, seven year old Vithu feels the threat to his family's ancestral mango farm from the bullet train project. While his father dreams of the city and his uncle clings to farming roots, Vithu takes action that forces the family to confront loss and rediscover unity.

Panha

Dama, a farmer from a village being poisoned by the Uranium mines, tries his best to get his daughter married but pays a heavy price for the atomic hunger of the country right before the 1998 Pokharan nuclear test.

Passes

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.
