BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The film segment of The Monsoon Festival 4 will showcase an eclectic mix of feature films and
documentaries to entertain as well as provoke thought on several environmental issues related to
the monsoon. Documentaries on water explore issues such as rainwater harvesting, the politics of
urban water supply, dwindling water resources, the problem of floods, and the global problem of
water. Other sessions featuring documentaries on climate change address various aspects of the
problem of climate change, as reflected in different parts of India, from Leh to Sunderbans to
Orissa. There is also a special session for children, featuring film screenings and a workshop.
As a finale to the film screenings, we present Climate Change Malhaar, an eclectic mix of music
on the theme of monsoon, environment and climate change.
