2010 begins as a critical year not just for ‘Voices from the Waters’ which completes five years of existence but for environmental consciousness on the whole, as the thoughts and concerns regarding the existence and well being of our rivers and streams are now being voiced in the mainstream. Now more than ever, there is a call for awareness, dialogue and debate to inform the actions on which the survival of our lifeworlds depend. We are at an instant of much possibilities and hope. We are in search of the voices that will guide us to a critical departure from the current paradigms towards our vision of better futures.
‘Voices from the Waters 2010: The 5th International Film Festival on Water’, the biggest, most dynamic and diverse platform of its kind invites you to be a part of the festival by contributing short, documentary, animation and feature films on water and related issues.
We invite you to be a part of the festival by contributing short, documentary, animation and feature films (DVD format only) with English subtitles on water and related issues.
