The films were shown under the guidance of Mrs. Shweta Bapat, Coordinator, Environmental Forum.
The movies were shown in collaboration with The Kirloskar International Film Festival, Pune. Movies related to  wildlife, earth care, water conservation, waste management, and endangered species were screened for the students. Movies such as Honoring India’s Wild Life, Tigers – They are all Dead, Don’t buy Trouble and Plastic Planet were shown to the students to make them understand the humanity’s manipulation of Nature, and the resultant harm caused to Nature. The movies also presented the scope of the problem related to environmental issues and offered hopeful solutions.
