Dear friends,
indiadisasters.org has been planning a film festival on the theme of
disasters for October. The idea is to focus on the theme of disaster
rehabilitation, throwing in aspects of preparedness, rights and
standards.

We have received some entries specifically on tsunami rehabilitation.
And promises about some more films that are nearing completion. We
have yet to make a final list.

We are plannning it as a multi-city initiative, possibly with some
screenings in temporary rehabilitation shelters and fishing hamlets.
Definitely there will be screenings in Chennai and
Thiruvananthapuram. Possibly in Nagapattinam and Kanyakumari as well.

May I request docuwallahs to spread the word and recommend films that
have escaped our scanner? Pl write a line about the film and the
filmmakers' contact. Please do not hesitate to blow your own trumpet
as well.

Cheers

Max Martin
