About the films:

BOMBAY HAS NO MORE CROCODILES!

(37 mins | English, Hindi w. Eng. subs/ 2024 | Docu)

Dir. Devraj, Sakshi, Sparsh, Srinjoy | Prod. Aparijit Production

This film is an anthology that explores the idiosyncratic development of urban Bombay, and its symptomatic relationship with the ecological. It looks at the different ways in which people have and continue to access the city; issues of housing, livelihood, and the ecosystem that powers the city and how it's being depleted by elements of capitalism.

THE MALL ON TOP OF MY HOUSE

(6 mins | No dialogue| Animation)

Dir. Aditi Chitre

Coastal Bombay, the fish, the fishing community and their homes get buried under concrete, from which emerge tall monoliths - shopping malls, golf clubs, luxury housing, etc. The protagonist, a pale, vigilant fisherman reminisces about a small house near the sea when he is brought back to a threatening present.

THE LAST RHODODENDRON

(37 mins | Pahari with English subtitles | 2022 | Fiction)

by Yashavi Juyal

In a small village in the mountains of Uttarakhand, a daughter is lured by the possibilities of city life, while her mother is haunted by the prospect of their land’s desolation.
