Concrete Over the Forest (Varun Chauva / India / 8 mins / English / 2026) Trailer

Shimla’s forests give way to concrete

Shimla’s once-green slopes are turning into a concrete jungle as rapid growth and road construction push the mountains beyond what they can bear. Through stark imagery and haunting sounds, the film is an urgent wake-up call, capturing a city transformed by unchecked development, where every monsoon brings renewed fear and anxiety.

At ALT EFF 2026, we are meeting the times.
When the world feels like it is coming apart, we look to art as witness, joy as resistance, and cinema as a way home to each other.

This film is one of many stories we are bringing together this year at the All Living Things Environmental Film Festival, December 3 to 13, 2026.

Catch in-person screenings at our flagship events:
• Mumbai: December 4 to 6, Nehru Science Centre
• Ahmedabad: December 10 to 13, UKBB & CEPT University
