Mermaids of Mannar (S. Greeshma / India / 18 mins / Tamil / 2024) Trailer

Guardians of the ocean, their community, and everyone’s survival

An intimate insight into a seaweed community in Tamil Nadu, where ecofeministic stories reside, thrive and learning to survive. The film layers out their livelihoods, their relationship with the sea, and the future they envision for the women of the coming generations. Is this relationship with the ocean worth keeping?

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.

• Mumbai: December 4 to 6, Nehru Science Centre
