Nila Madhab Panda walked the red carpet along with other internationally-acclaimed filmmakers at the official screening of the film ‘Interdependence’ at the International Film Festival of Rome on October 22.
All the filmmakers were invited for a reception dinner given by the Swiss Ambassador Rita Adams at her residence on the day before screening.
Panda was among the eleven internationally recognized filmmakers, from eleven countries, who had joined forces to raise awareness on the effects of climate change through a unique anthology of films on the issue.
The eleven stories, including Madhab’s “Megha’s Divorce’ illustrated by the filmmakers reflect the intertwined relations within human society and the natural environment that are affected by climate change on multiple dimensions and scales.
Speaking on the occasion, Panda said, "I am very happy to present Megha’s Divorce in the prestigious International Film Festival of Rome. I am so proud to be a part of this anthology. It’s an interesting way to tell a story of our world and what is happening to our world today. 11 countries representing their view points on one burning issue climate change! I am hoping the film creates some sense of urgency on this serious issue. We will soon be bringing the film to India."
