Sherni director Amit Masurkar joins the jury of All Living Things Environmental Film Festival

Sherni and Newton director Amit V Masurkar has been roped in on the jury of ALT EFF - All Living Things Environmental Film Festival. 

Started in 2020 as a virtual festival, ALT EFF intents to stir a conversation on nature, conservation and the environment at large. The festival is the brainchild of Kunal Khanna. This year, ALT EFF will have 55 films as part of the line up with 33 exclusive India premieres lined up. The festival will run from November 17 to November 27. 

Amit, whose Sherni (2021) addressed themes of conservation and human-wildlife conflict, says,  “Climate change is real and we are facing serious consequences of years of environmental degradation today.  ALT EFF is helping create awareness and steer public opinion in favour of conservation and animal rights. I’m honoured to be part of this year's jury and I look forward to watching incredible films from all over the world that have been curated to create a positive change in our thinking and behaviour.”

Kunal Khanna shares, "2022 is a big year for ALT EFF as we finally bring the films to you in your cities for in-person screenings and simultaneously offer the virtual program completely free of cost to audiences across the country. This step brings us closer to our mission of making environmental cinema accessible for everyone and to be a catalyst for environmental action."
