PRAKRITI: International Documentary Film Festival
Prakriti is a prestigious Documentary Film Festival being organized by the Consortium for Educational Communication (CEC), New Delhi, since 1997. It was a non-competitive event organized every year at a different location for Indian film-makers. The festival has travelled to many places like Hyderabad, Pune, Bhopal, Goa, Pondicherry, Jodhpur, Tripura, Mysore, Calicut, Kolkata, Chandigarh, Chennai & Madurai. During the festival, documentaries, selected by a panel of Jury, are screened and directors/producers/representatives of selected documentaries are invited to interact with the audience on the issues raised in their documentary(ies).
