AUROVILLE SEED FESTIVAL 2018
2018, Documentary, 4 minutes
Screening at: Townhall Reception LED Screen 2
There are two ways to look at a seed, Bernard of Auroville’s Pebble Garden explains. The first is to cut it into pieces, put it under the microscope and study its cells, chromosomes and genes. In this case I can name the genes, but do I really understand the seed? The second is to plant a seed and watch it grow into a tree. Then we see that when we hold a seed in our hands, we hold the sun, the water and the earth and ourselves as co-creators in this process. This is to deeply understand the seed. This reminder of the interrelatedness of everything in nature encapsulates, in essence, the message of the Annual Seed Festival in Auroville.

Gilles Boulicot, a water expert in Auroville, gives a presentation about the water crisis.
Groundwater levels all over India are fast declining and aquifers in coastal regions are turning saline. The available surface water resources have almost completely been harvested, which means that groundwater is now the major source for domestic, industrial and irrigation requirements. However, water tables are dropping at such an alarming pace that the status of the ground water resources in Tamil Nadu has become a cause of concern.

JOURNEY OF AUROVILLE – BARODA FESTIVAL
2019, Documentary, 8 minutes
Screening at: Townhall Reception LED Screen 2
Bhu/Earth, a dance theatre show inspired by Kalaripayattu, is a testimony to Auroville’s potential in bringing together diverse groups of people for synergistic collaborations. Conceived by Phillipe Pelen and Moucazambo Thierry of the visiting French theatre company ‘Les Porteurs d’Eau’, Bhu draws its inspiration chiefly from conversations between the choreographers and Barbara of Ritam, Auroville and the work of Kalarigram, a Kalaripayattu institute in the vicinity of Auroville. Moucazambo Thierry and practitioners of Kalaripayattu are the performers, while the percussionists come from Kerala, Auroville, and the island of Reunion. Innovative musical instruments from the Auroville unit Svaram are artfully used during the performance, to create the desired sound effects when depicting natural elements like wind and thunder. Auroville Art Service is responsible for bringing all this talent together.
