Goa premiere of the award winning film, Turtle Walker.

[Cinephile Film Club]

Greetings from the Cinephile Film Club! 

This Thursday, 15th January at 6:30 pm, we are hosting a special screening of the award-winning documentary Turtle Walker (75 mins) directed by the young, talented Goan filmmaker, Taira Malaney, who will be present for the screening. 

Backed by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, since it's world premiere at DOC NYC, the film has travelled across the globe, with screenings at the Raindance Film Festival, the Hamptons International Film Festival, and a special showcase at the United Nations Ocean Conference. The film won the Best Film Award in the International Competition at AFO and received the Conservation Award at the International Ocean Film Festival. It was also honoured at the Jackson Wild Media Awards, winning both the ‘Conservation’ and ‘Grand Teton’ Awards.
Turtle Walker tells the story of Satish Bhaskar, an Indian pioneer in the field of sea turtle conservation. In the late 1970s, Bhaskar embarked on an epic journey along India's coastlines, living alongside rare sea turtles to unravel the mysteries that surround them.  

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director.
