FILM SCREENING

The Eco Club, in the month of July 2020 organized a film screening session in collaboration with the Hopping Sparrows Film Festival - Films for the Young & Hopeful based out of New Delhi, India. Hopping Sparrows as a traveling film festival provides students with exposure to a wide variety of subjects under sustainability dealt with in the films set in Indian and global context. As a visual and community interaction experience, the festival leaves students with a long-lasting memory of lessons that speak most to their quest. The theme of the Film Screening was "Green Gold on Fire". Jammu and Kashmir is the only state in India where forest fires are reported almost every season. Green Gold on Fire spoke about the impact of forest fires on the ecosystem, water crisis, soil fertility and livelihoods in the valley.
