The Lost Forest
Ishani K Dutta| 20 mins| English
About the film:
A sacred grove that held in its heart
secrets of a bygone era. A forest of conflicts, which tradition named
Mangerbani. Whether it could be defined as a forest became a big bone of
contention. The Manger Draft Development Plan 2031 permits 22 kinds of real
estate activities to happen inside a green belt of Aravallis, which is in stark
contrast to the Regional Plan 2021 for NCR. Maybe that’s because land comes at
a premium here, because if it is not a forest there’s no need to conserve it;
because developers are waiting to pounce on it, and they mean big money. The
fate of Mangerbani seems to be already sealed. It’s already a lost forest; a
forest that isn’t there.
About the film maker:
Ishani set up Carrot Communications, a film
production company in 2000. Prior to that she had worked with several
television channels like Zee News, Zee Telefilms, Star Television etc. She also
teaches at the Delhi School of Communications and is a visiting faculty at
other institutes.
