This festival, which focuses on sustainability and environmental issues, will take place from 22nd November to 8th December this year.

Each year, ALT EFF appoints new ambassadors to amplify its message of using cinema as a catalyst for change. In 2023, actress Alia Bhatt was the festival's face. This year, Richie Mehta will promote sustainability and environmental awareness through filmmaking.

Mehta's series Poacher aligns with ALT EFF's mission by highlighting the illegal ivory trade and elephant poaching in India. This series exposes the harsh realities of wildlife exploitation, reflecting the festival's themes of promoting a sustainable future.

The All Living Things Environmental Film Festival serves as a vital platform for films addressing critical environmental issues. It aims to promote a greener future. The 2024 edition is set to bring together filmmakers, activists, and audiences committed to protecting the planet.

Richie Mehta expressed his thoughts on joining the festival: "Cinema has the power to educate, inspire, and provoke thought. Festivals like ALT EFF are crucial in ensuring that we as a society confront the environmental challenges we face today. My work on Poacher highlighted the tragic impact of illegal wildlife trade, and through ALT EFF, I hope to further drive conversations around conservation and sustainability."

The festival continues to be an influential gathering that showcases films dedicated to addressing pressing environmental concerns. It encourages discussions about conservation and sustainability among diverse audiences.
