Path of Return (Maraluva Daari) (Jayasri Sridhar / India / 23 mins / Kannad / 2024) Trailer

An Indian mythological lens on urbanisation

This hybrid, poetic documentary overlays a conversation from Ahalya and Sita, two of the strongest women in Indian mythology, with cityscapes. The women speak about seeking agency, question conservative ideologies and opinionate on how humans have lost their paths, and how we might find it again.

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.
