water-issues affecting our everyday lives either directly or indirectly and as a
platform for alternate voices and views rarely heard in mainstream, Voices from
the Waters started as a Bangalore-based Environmental Film Festival and over the

platforms of debate, dialogue and celebration of the precious resource, the blue
gold, life itself - water. 


We invite you to be a part of the festival by contributing short, documentary,
animation and feature films (DVD format only) with English subtitles on water
