The 14th CMS CMSVATAVARAN International Film Festival and Forum spotlights “Regenerative Development,” an approach that goes beyond sustaining what exists to actively restoring and renewing ecosystems, communities, and cultural landscapes. It moves past the traditional idea of sustainability to embrace circular thinking, ecological harmony, and community resilience — inviting transformative stories that inspire action for a thriving planet.
Marking its first-ever edition in Hyderabad, CMS VATAVARAN finds an ideal setting at the historic Taramati Baradari. Renowned for its rich cultural legacy and timeless architecture, the venue beautifully reflects the Festival's vision of regenerative development—where heritage, nature, and meaningful conversations come together.
The festival showcases a curated selection, celebrating new perspectives and innovations in regional and world cinema, with an in-depth exploration of other audio-visual formats of storytelling.
