Climate change documentary to be screened at Delhi on February 17

A northeast based documentary on climate change - DONT CUT MY HEAD OFF! will have its first screening in India on February 17, 2012, at 8 pm at Max Mueller Bhavan in New Delhi.

The video moves between Copenhagen and Chizami, a small village in Nagaland. Seno Tsuhah went to UN climate meet in Copenhagen in December 2009 hoping to influence the global negotiators. But they don't have time for 'romantic' Naga wisdom. The video explores two seemingly unconnected worlds of statecraft and realpolitik in Copenhagen climate meet and an agriculturalist and highly nature-dependent rural Naga society. A video about global governance, power games and theater of transparency as performed by global media.

The video, so far had limited exposure within the international academic circle, with screenings in Heidelberg University, School of Oriental and African Studies, Rome University and a Media conference in Istanbul. The video has been made by Kazimuddin ahmed, Somnath Batabyal, Matti Pohjonen and Pradip Saha in collaboration with Heidelberg University.
