Dia Mirza has been appointed as one of the the jury members for All Living Things Environmental Film Festival (ALT EFF) 2024. It is scheduled to take place from November 22 to December 8 this year in which a total of 72 films will be showcased, with 38 making their India premieres. The festival aims to showcase films highlighting critical environmental issues, ranging from climate change to wildlife conservation.

Speaking about her involvement in the festival, Dia said, “I am honoured to be part of ALT EFF, a festival that is not just about films but about building a dialogue around sustainability and the future of our planet. The power of cinema to evoke empathy and inspire change is unparalleled, and I look forward to watching films that reflect the incredible efforts being made globally to protect our environment.”

Festival Director, Kunal Khanna, shared his excitement about the upcoming edition, saying, “We are thrilled to announce the 2024 dates for ALT EFF and expand our screenings to non-urban regions. It’s crucial to engage communities beyond metro cities in these discussions, and cinema has the power to connect people from different walks of life. Bearing in mind the diversity of languages in India, this year we have used AI to translate foreign language films into regional languages, along with curating films made in regional languages.”

This year, screenings will be held in metro cities as well as 55 locations in small towns and villages across India over the festival period.

Dia was last seen in Anubhav Sinha’s web-series IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack.
