In January
2004, Magic Lantern Foundation organised
Other Worlds Are Breathing, a
four-day film festival for the World
Social Forum, in Mumbai. In this festival,
84 documentaries from all over the world
on the dominant themes of the forum were
screened to packed audiences.
Films such
as The
Corporation,
War
and Peace, Words on Water and
Seeing is Believing, to name only a
few, were some of the highlights of the
film festival.
The
festival, apart from generating a lot of
energy and encouragement to have similar
events in future, has also put Magic
Lantern in touch with a large number of
filmmakers from all over the world, who
are excited about making their films
available to viewers in India.
A
collection of films from this festival has
travelled to many parts of India, such as
Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and in
cities like New Delhi, Bangalore and
Kolkata. The films were also screened by
groups in Thailand, Germany, Italy and
USA.. The films are still available to any
group wanting to screen them in their
regions.
