Voices from the Waters - from Friday 31st

7th International Travelling Film Festival

Documentary Film Festival

Since 2005 Bangalore is the only city in the world that hosts a film festival exclusively dedicated to water. As one of the key collaborators of Voices from the Waters, the Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan Bangalore is one of the venues for the screenings.

Voices from the Waters, the International Travelling Film Festivalwas initiated by Bangalore Film Society, as an effective way of reaching out to the uninitiated on water issues with an emphasis on high school, college students and the youth. The programme aims to bring together high school and college students, environmentalists, scientists, policy makers, film-makers, lecturers, scholars and working professionals from all walks of life to engage in a process of learning and debate on various water issues from around the world. It gives film-makers a chance to exhibit their works to a broader and diverse audience to enhance water and environmental consciousness. The major resonance and the number of films received every year underline the global concern for water.
