Shaunak Sen on All That Breathes | NYFF60

Director Shaunak Sen discusses All That Breathes, an NYFF60 Main Slate selection, with NYFF Executive Director Eugene Hernandez.
High above bustling New Delhi, birds of prey known as black kites have for years routinely been falling from the skies due to injuries sustained from pollution or manja, the dangerous cotton threads of paper kites that slice through their wings. For decades, brothers Mohammad Saud and Nadeem Shehzad-who believe in the interconnectedness of human and animal life-have taken it upon themselves to save the birds, which the general city population largely sees as nuisances despite their essential role in the city’s ecosystem. In his hypnotic, poignant, and beautifully crafted documentary, New Delhi-based filmmaker Shaunak Sen immerses himself with Saud and Shehzad for a portrayal of their struggle to make change that doubles as a diagnosis of a city rocked by turmoil. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary (World Cinema) at Sundance and the L’OEil d’or for Best Documentary at Cannes. A Sideshow and Submarine Deluxe release in association with HBO Documentary Films.
All NYFF60 documentaries are presented by HBO.

Congratulations for making the Oscar Shortlist for 'All That Breathes'.

[@dhontu]

Haven't heard any Indian director as clear with his ideas poetically as this fellow...

[@brindacockburn4033]

He is speaking with wisdom and sensitivity as a person twice his age. His name in Hindi means "great sage"

[@knlshrvstv]

Satyajit Ray’s writings have great depth. Highly recommended, if you’re looking for something like this

[@rakeshchandan007]

im going to add him to my fav filmmakers list

[@val-schaeffer1117]

He is goodlooking too

''No matter how much you care for an animal, love it, you can never claim that you understand it. Man is the loneliest animal, trapped by speciestic difference.'' A raw, painful and innocently humorous documentary centred on selfless acts of wildlife rescue. The cinematography left me in an absolute awe till the very end

Lovely interview, deep compassion for life whether he admits it or not.

Hoping this would win best doc at Oscars

[@yulplateau]

what an impressive young man! Hwy are we not hearing more about him rather than the crass RRR and even crasser Bollywood?

[@kingshukdas9876]

Because we don't have enough quality audience around.

[@yulplateau]

@@kingshukdas9876 audience is there, problem is bollywood mafia controlled distribution racket. They open their crap films in maximum screens and dont allow quality movies from outside the clique to get any space. OTT has revealed that there is a market for quality content, but Bollywood, like a disease, is also infecting that space. Hope Shaunak will use his accolades to create a space for good content and not sell out to Bollywood the way Anurag Kashyap did.

[@kingshukdas9876]

@@yulplateau right. More of these films should be made, so people knew what are the definations of a good film.

[@pranaya2800]

Calling commercial cinema crass is wrong because you are basically practicing elitism. Most of the people around the world including Indians love to watch larger than life engaging and entertaining movies after completing their hectic jobs unlike binge watchers. And there's nothing wrong with it. Similarly documentaries have their own audience but their number is less.

[@soumilyade1057]

Exactly the thought....! Why fuss over RRR...!

[@elchiquifru]

This was a fabulous and important film. One of the most interesting ones I have seen recently. A must watch.

best film of the year !!!!!!!!! horrid that they cant clean up the air in Delhi...

All the best ❤️

People of Delhi need to wake up..They are paying a high price of modernization. Pestilence is iminent. Demise is near.

[@brucebrowne2077]

for a film festival, this is poorly shot-¾ of the frame is useless and we struggle to see the two subjects. Do better!

[@spotlight1297]

I've not seen the film, just heard about it. Is this really the case?

[@josemobile4232]

@@spotlight1297 I think Bruce Browne is talking about the 3/4 frame with reference to the discussion above rather than the movie "all that breathes". Bruce, pls let us know if what I mentioned is incorrect.

Dont fall for it - its a muslim based anti India propaganda movie under the guise of saving birds. Its not a documentary, its a propaganda movie thats made to appear like a documentary

The documentary is just that- a documentary. Get over whatever made you write this comment, and see the beauty of your fellow countrymen’s artistic creation.
