Dear friends, we are happy to release this short film on the Vikalp Sangam (Confluence of Alternatives, India) process, by Srishti Films and Kalpavriksh. It covers some of the events of the process – confluences, documentation, outreach, collaborations, artwork and more – and some key voices of people involved. Necessarily for a 10-year process that has involved hundreds of activities and thousands of people, it is a severely incomplete picture, but one that hopefully illustrates the essence. Several of you feature in it!

Comments welcome (directly to me pl, not on lists)! And pl. spread in your networks. Sorry for cross-posting if any.


Many thanks to Srishti Films, esp. Diya who was instrumental in making it, and Sanjay for overall guidance.

 

(and, in case you’ve not yet seen it, pl. also watch ‘Churning the Earth’, a film on several initiatives of radical alternatives to destructive ‘development’, social marginalization, and other crises: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8ajoGL8jII)
