Requiem of a Mangrove Forest: Film screening and discussion

This MOG Sunday presents a screening of Requiem of a Mangrove Forest, a documentary chronicling the gradual death of two mangrove forests in Merces and Corlim, Goa, between 2021 and 2024. The film traces the ecological consequences of climate change, salinity shifts, dam flooding, and illegal waste disposal, documenting how fragile ecosystems are reshaped by human intervention and environmental neglect.

Through drone footage, underwater imagery, and an immersive visual language, the documentary approaches the mangrove forest not merely as a landscape but as a living collective connected through roots, water systems, and mycelial networks. Inspired in part by the aftermath of the 2018 Kerala floods, the film reflects on water as both a sacred entity and a contested resource, while exploring the emotional and political dimensions of ecological collapse.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with filmmakers Payal Kakkar and Doel Trivedy on environmental storytelling, visual anthropology, and the role of artistic practice in imagining more sustainable futures.
