The Birds: A filmmaker, facing up to the twilight of his career - sets out to use his camera skills to decipher the relationship between a million seabirds and a single hunting falcon. Ultimately his cinematic portrait of this “cosmic event” provides crucial insights into the mechanisms of the natural world and the difficulties of coming to terms with the end of a life well-lived.

My Otter Diary: Exploring the playful and resilient lives of otters in one of India’s most rapidly changing waterways and set in the lush wetlands and tranquil waters of the Cauvery river, the film reveals a rare view of Otter family life, their survival strategies, and interactions with other species. But as pollution and destructive dynamite fishing threatens the delicate balance of their habitat, the otters, and the humans whose livelihoods also depend on the river, are often in conflict. With unprecedented access and filmed over three years, Sugandhi follows a family of otters as they face these challenges.
