Six Indian films make it to last lap of Wildscreen Wildlife film fest
13.03 IST   03rd Oct 2004

By IndiaExpress Bureau

Six of the entries from India have made it to the last lap of the `Green Oscars'-the biennial Wildscreen Wildlife Film Festival and Panda Awards, ending decades of European and American domination in the wildlife film field.

Two of these have been selected for the campaign award and the individual campaign prize of the festival, due next weekend in Bristol.

Newcomers Ajay and Vijay Bedi have been shortlisted for the best newcomer for their entry `The Policing Langur', in which they have shown how Indian police have tried to utilize langoor monkeys to crack down on destructive and thieving macaques.

Yet another commendable entry, that is up in the individual campaigner award list, is of the country's revered natural history documentary maker, Mike Pandey's.

Film festival organizers say India is leading a steadily growing wildlife film industry among the developing countries. Other entries from developing countries are from Colombia, Costa Rica, Iran, Puerto Rico, Vietnam and Zimbabwe.

Films from these countries are more hard-hitting than those from elsewhere, Harriet Nimmo, chief executive of the Wildscreen charity in Bristol, said.
