Shaunak Sen pens a heartfelt note after his documentary ‘All That Breathes’ misses out on the Oscar

Filmmaker Shaunak Sen's ‘All That Breathes’ could not register a win at the 95th Academy Awards. The film lost to Daniel Roher's ‘Navalny’ in the Best Documentary Feature Film category at the Oscars. The three other nominees in the category were ‘All The Beauty And The Bloodshed’, ‘Fire Of Love’, and ‘A House Made Of Splinters’.

Now, Shaunak Sen has shared a series of pictures of Oscars day as it progressed. Sharing the photos, he wrote, ‘So many chin-uppy messages of encouragement/support since yesterday. We were low for about an hour, but we're soon distracted into equanimity amidst the whirl of glittery people and things. Brain is still to wrap around the fact that this is the end of this chapter. Next we'll be working hard to figure India distribution (HBO has ended it's deal in India with Hotstar it appears, and we're figuring out which platform it'll come out on now). For now, very very nice to share this bizarre, swollen day with the brothers, and so many members of our crew.’

‘All That Breathes’ narrates the story of two brothers, Saud and Nadeem, who run a bird clinic in Delhi. The documentary has won multiple awards, including at the Sundance Film Festival, where it premiered, and at the Cannes Film Festival.

This year, India bagged two Oscars- ‘Naatu Naatu’ from SS Rajamouli’s ‘RRR’ won the Best Original Song, and ‘The Elephant Whisperers’ won in the Best Documentary Short Subject category.
