Documentary film 'Searching for Choti' shines at Ecoreels Film Festival 2025
New Delhi, June 8 (UNI) Director Chandra Mouli Mallampalli's short documentary "Searching for Choti" was screened at the Ecoreels Film Festival 2025, held in New Delhi from June 6 to 8. The film, which was screened on June 7, offers a soulful meditation on India's rapidly disappearing wildlife and human stories entwined within it. The narrative follows Subhash Behera and Mallampalli as they set out in pursuit of one of India's rarest and least understood wild felines, fishing cats, one of the rarest wild cats of India. The story of the film also shows why it is important to maintain balance with nature. Internationally recognised, the film won Best Short Film Award in the 'Nature and Wildlife' category at the International Motion Picture Awards (Canada). Cinematographer Giridhar Nayak's lens captures the essence of the Chilika Lake region in haunting, poetic frames. Talking about 'Searching for Choti' Mallampalli shared, 'This film looks at how wetlands like Chilika support both wildlife and local communities and how that balance is now at risk. With less freshwater and a rise in intensive farming, the landscape is changing.' Revealing his motive behind the drama, the director added, 'Through this film, I hope to highlight how protecting wetlands and communities goes hand in hand.' Mallampalli's fascination with nature and wildlife began in childhood and he has consistently sought to tell compelling stories rooted in ecological reality. He started his career by working at places like National Geographic and BBC, where he got the inspiration to make films based on true stories. Mallampalli and Nayak have also collaborated on another documentary, Mandala, directed by Nayak and produced by Mallampalli, which explores human-snake conflict and snakebite deaths along Maharashtra's Konkan coast.

Secret's out: Kaws: Holiday Thailand stops at Sanam Luang
Ever since news dropped in March that Kaws: Holiday was heading to Bangkok, fans have been buzzing with one big question – where in the Big Mango would it land? Now the mystery's solved, as the giant sculpture will take over Sanam Luang from May 13 to 25, with free entry for all. For its stop in the capital, American artist Brian Donnelly or Kaws brings his beloved character, COMPANION: an 18-metre-tall sculpture. Sitting on Earth and gently holding the Moon, this giant installation has a smaller version resting in its lap. The artwork is all about passing down wisdom, care and values from one generation to the next, showing the strong connection between past, present and future. Located next to the Grand Palace, Sanam Luang is a place filled with deep cultural meaning for Thailand. With roots in the ancient Mandala belief, the grounds are seen as the centre of the universe – a spot where the celestial and earthly worlds meet. Much like its surroundings, COMPANION – sitting on Earth and cradling the Moon – showcases the harmony between these realms. It's a reflection of how everything is interconnected, just like the wisdom passed down through generations. Before the exhibition, the sculpture was set up in a few remote spots for final checks and everything went perfectly. Now, it's all set to invite everyone to pause, slow down and fully soak in the experience.
