Sci-Fi, 81 min

What might happen if our home planet dies? In this film, an extra-terrestrial gives an account of his escape from an ice-covered planet in a distant galaxy; he relates his attempt to make Earth his new home and then divulges the secret knowledge he possesses on how to return to his planet, knowledge which the CIA has also managed to get its hands on. Five astronauts travel into space in search of a new habitat for the human race and explore the deserted planet, the "Wild Blue Yonder" of the title. When they return 820 years later, the Earth is devoid of humankind.

On view till 28 April
ENTRY : FREE

About the exhibition:

The group exhibition by Indian, mostly Hyderabad-based photographers, both amateur and professional ones, will be exhibited on the occasion of the celebration of the International Earth Day on April, 22nd.

The participants are: Saurabh Chatterjee, Manpreet Nishter, Gourav Bhaduri, Barhadath D, Shrichandra Yadav, Deepak Gupta, Chandrasekhar Singh, Mahesh Iyer, Anu Nadimpalli, Yashodhar Chennubhotla, Srikanth Nippatla, Hemant Kumar. 

The submissions were conducted through social media and were open to all. This is the second edition of PERSPEKTIVEN. The exhibition had a great success last year, displaying the works of 45 Indian photographers based both In India and abroad. The theme in 2014 was Water, the element of life. This year’s theme is Mother Earth.

About the theme MOTHER EARTH: 

This edition of PERSPEKTIVEN is an attempt to evoke and remind all of us of these natural emotions and revive long-buried instincts by a meaningful and thought-provoking display of photographs depicting all aspects of Mother Earth – her beauty, her joys, her sorrows and her pain.

The Earth does not belong to us, but we belong to the Earth. Our Mother Earth is the source of all life, whether it be plants, the two-legged, four-legged, winged ones or human beings. Just as we would protect our own mother, so must we protect the Earth. We need to ensure that the land, water, and air will be intact for our children and for our children’s children.
