'ALT EFF 2023 Premieres Jason Momoa's Environmental Epic: Deep Rising in India.'

The All Living Things Environmental Film Festival 2023 will host the official India premiere of 'Deep Rising,' starring Jason Momoa of Aquaman fame.

India's largest environmental film festival, ALT EFF, which focuses on the themes of environment sustainability and climate change, expresses its excitement over announcing the official Indian premiere of Jason Momoa's acclaimed movie "Deep Rising." The fourth edition of this prestigious festival will span from 1st to 10th December in 2023. More than sixty films in various formats including international features shorts student and animated works are slated for screening during this period. This year signifies a new era for ALT EFF as it plans to captivate audiences with an innovative hybrid model; featuring screenings across multiple cities within India while also providing access through a virtual leg for global viewers – demonstrating their commitment towards inclusivity and expanding reach.

Iconic Aquaman actor, Jason Momoa, narrates and produces Deep Rising; Matthieu Ritz directs this groundbreaking real-life documentary. It probes the destiny of our planet's final untamed wilderness - the deep ocean. The film illuminates an impending peril that these depths confront: a clandestine organization's scheme to permit enormous extraction of seabed metals in response to the global energy crisis. Deep Rising employs awe-inspiring visuals and compelling storytelling to showcase: the deep ocean's vital relationship with sustaining life on Earth.

Deep Rising, a powerful reminder of the urgent need to protect our oceans and preserve the delicate balance of marine ecosystems, chronicles The Metals Company's journey. This mining startup navigates challenges: securing funding; winning public favor; obtaining permission from the International Seabed Authority to mine extensive areas of Pacific Ocean floor.

Proudly kick-starting the 2023 festival with Deep Rising's India premiere, ALT EFF offers a unique opportunity for audiences to witness this thought-provoking documentary on the big screen. Continuing its commitment towards promoting environmental consciousness and inspiring positive change through filmmaking artistry as the festival scales up in size and impact, ALT EFF perseveres.

India, at a critical juncture regarding regenerative energy solutions, faces two options: it can persist as one of the principal proponents advocating for DSM (Deep Seabed Mining); alternatively, by harnessing its resources and technological prowess—lead global progression away from this paradigm that nearly precipitated environmental catastrophe. This presents an opportunity for India to instigate positive change on a worldwide scale; consequently–we eagerly announce our partnership with ALTEFF 2023—for Deep Rising's India Premiere. Director: Deep Rising--Matthieu Rytz.

Kunal Khanna, Festival Director of ALT EFF, announced: "We have the distinct honor of presenting Deep Rising's India premiere at our 2023 festival; as the global economy forges its path towards electrification – this film offers compelling insights into its potential consequences. In exemplifying our mission to elevate awareness about pressing environmental issues and enlightening us with underrepresented perspectives within current narratives– it stands out." We extend an invitation to film enthusiasts, environmentalists, and the general public—urging them to join us in a transformative cinematic journey. This experience not only educates but also empowers viewers: it equips them with the power of storytelling through films--a crucial medium for effecting change. Like our other carefully selected works this year; Deep Rising is another imperative story—a narrative that demands telling and merits public attention.
