Talking about his film, Nirmal said, “In a world where there is no dearth of content anymore, it is sometimes difficult to get people to notice your work. The battle is all the more difficult if one is not catering to pop culture. ‘Moti Bagh’ was not an easy process. It is an honest depiction of the plight of the villages in Uttarakhand.”
He is happy the jury at ALT-EFF believed in his work and the world will now know about it because of his Oscar nomination. It just makes things a lot easier, says the elated Oscar nominee.”
The festival has roped in a great jury this year including internationally acclaimed photographer and filmmaker Micheal Snyder, six-time National Award-winning filmmaker Anand Patwardhan and Amin Hajee.
This year the festival had 44 films including Moti Bagh from 31 countries being screened – all themed around topics of environment, conservation, climate change, and other related matters.
