Join us for 'Feel Inspired 2' as part of Wildscreen Festival’s Official Selection public screenings.

Can you really have too much inspiration? Welcome back to the second block of our Feel Inspired Film Screening series, as we travel to Greenland for the poetic short film, 'Entropy' before heading off to India for the forty-five minute film, 'The Last Defenders of India'.

Entropy (10m): Inuk Jørgensen
The vast Greenlandic ice sheet has been created over thousands of years but today climate change is threatening the close and sacred connection between the land moulded by ice and the Inuit who live there. Told from an Indigenous perspective the film celebrates Greenlandic mythology as much as it laments the nature we are all losing.

The Last Defenders of India (46m): Srishti Lakhera
The Indian Himalayan district of Chamoli is an ecologically fragile region known for its meadows of native flowers and wide variety of flora. It is also rich in minerals like magnesite, iron and limestone. A construction boom across the region has fuelled the extraction of these resources, resulting in a massive increase in landslides.

Deepa Devi and Kiran Bhandari are leading a group of women fighting against the construction of a stone crusher plant by a powerful local mafia. For over a year, the women have stopped the construction of the plant near their village, Jabar Kot, using their bodies to prevent the diggers from working. Kapoor Rawat, a grassroots organiser, supports their fight despite the legal cases brought against them by the stone crusher plant company for the loss of income due to their obstruction.

As the threats and intimidation increase, the women remain determined and stay on the frontline to protect their land, forests, water and children's future.
