With Hyderabad as main venue, the HEFF travels all over Andhra Pradesh & Telangana later. This helps spread awareness about Environment, Climate Change Etc and related issues. Estimated budget is 75 lakhs with expenditure heads like Auditorium rent, screening fees, printing of catalogue, delegate services, hospitality & guest relations, opening & closing functions, travel, printing & publicity etc. Gangadhar Panday has 20 years experience in film industry as actor & short filmmaker and well qualified in Environmental studies, a rare combination. He is active in film festival circuit, served as jury in international film festivals. He is familiar with the organization of Film Festivals. HEFF has big potential for brand value building and scope for scaling up. Efforts will be made to improve upon CMS Vatavaran, New Delhi and Vasundhara Kirloskar, Pune.
