The Indian Maritime Foundation (IMF), Pune, is organizing a film festival screening beginning this Tuesday, January 25, 2011, at the Boat club, following the mantra of ‘know to conserve’. For the first time, marine life in deep oceans has been selected as the theme in the festival, in an effort to create more awareness amongst people to help in better protection of oceans.
“The 21st Century can well be said to be the era of oceans. Grave but often ignored issues like climate change, pollution, exploitation of marine life through excessive fishing, among others, are all posing threat to the oceans. Thus, there is an immediate need for its conservation. We at IMF believe that the process of conservation can only begin and can be done successfully, if one is fully aware of what is to be conserved,” said president IMF, Commodore (retd) Rajan Vir in a press conference.
As part of the festival, the city IMF, which is committed towards creating awareness on conservation of marine life, is going to screen a series of four films titled ‘Life in the oceans’. The films, which highlight various facets of marine life, will be screened over a period of five months. IMF and The Rotary Club of Pune Central are funding the cost of the festival. The entry is open for all cinema lovers and environment enthusiasts.
“Among all the movies, the first film would be screened on the life of whales. Whales have been specifically chosen, for they are mammals and very gifted animals like humans. They are very special and play a pivotal role in maintaining the necessary balance in the ecosystem,” Vir went on to say.
The second film of ‘Life in the oceans’ series, Deep Ocean and Frozen Seas is scheduled to be screened on March 29. The third and fourth movies, Intercontinental Winged Migration, and Coral Seas and Tidal Seas, will be screened on May 3 and June 7 respectively. According to Vir, there are more than 10 million different species of animals living in the biosphere, of which eight million species are still unknown to humankind.
“We sincerely hope and wish that this initiative would not only help to create knowledge about the marine flora and fauna, but will also help in strategizing conservation steps in a much improved and focused way,” Commodore Vir said.
The films are of one-and-a-half hour duration each and will start rolling from 6 pm onwards at Boat Club. For more details, contact on 9823655692. The four films will be shown on January 25, March 29, May 3 and June 7.
“I personally feel that it is a great way to educate and generate more awareness among people on issues that require immediate attention. Movies have the potential to educate and entertain at the same time. I am looking forward to the festival and hope that Puneites will come forward and support the cause of conserving marine life whole-heartedly,” said Mansi Shaw, a resident of Hadapsar, Pune.

This really bodes well for this section of town. Not only does it bring an exta 400 500 residents who will bring a hefty economic impact to local stores and restaurants, but makes the next developmental prospect that much less risky. I’m sure others will quickly follow.
