dc.descriptionPetal Per Se-A Film by Students of Mass Communication (Department of Adult Continuing Education & Extension) Producer: Jadavpur University, under the potential for excellence scheme, UGC Project Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Partha Sarathi Chakroborty Directed and Edited by Parag Sarkar SCREENINGS & RECOGNITION • First Screening: North Virginia Community College, USA (Cultural Exchange Programme) • Kolkata International Film Festival, 2008 • Nominated in the 5th Vatavaran Environment and Wildlife Film Festival, 2009 Synopsis: Petal Per Se is a documentary that explores the ecological and economic transformation of discarded flowers in India. Flowers are widely used for religious, cultural, and social purposes; however, surplus and used flowers often result in financial losses for farmers and contribute significantly to water pollution when disposed of in rivers and other water bodies. The film presents an innovative and sustainable solution: a manufacturing process that converts discarded and decaying flowers into natural herbal dyes. These dyes are eco-friendly and safe for human use, unlike synthetic chemical alternatives. They can be used in sweets and for preparing gulal, the fragrant, coloured powder traditionally used during the festival of Holi. This recycling initiative not only helps reduce environmental pollution but also provides an additional and stable source of income for farmers by enabling them to sell their excess produce. Furthermore, it creates employment opportunities for labourers involved in the process. The documentary serves as a tribute to this nature-friendly scientific innovation while also examining broader aspects of flower cultivation, pollution challenges, and sustainable solutions. It ultimately aims to bring economic stability to farmers and promote environmental conservation.
