Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 24 : All Living Things Environmental Film Festival (ALT EFF) is back with another edition. As the festival's advocate actor Alia Bhatt is all set to lend her support in bringing sustainability and storytelling together.
The Festival organisers on Friday said they are thrilled to join forces with actor, producer and entrepreneur Alia Bhatt's production house Eternal Sunshine Productions.
The event is scheduled to take place from December 1-10 and is in its fourth year now. It is dedicated to leveraging the power of cinema to address pressing environmental issues.

Speaking of her association with the festival, Alia expressed her excitement and said in a statement, "It is such an honour to be associated with All Living Things Environmental Film Festival 2023. Cinema is not just a form of entertainment; it's a powerful tool for sparking an important conversation, and the festival is a great amalgamation of the same. At Eternal Sunshine Productions, our aim is to tell stories that evoke thought or change in whatever way possible and it's such a joy for us at Eternal to be supporting a festival that wants to tell powerful stories while being environmentally conscious, driving meaningful change. As a young production company this will be an instrumental learning and an important step towards fulfilling this vision."
