All That Breathes: Shaunak Sen on films, Trojan horses, and winning at Cannes
Hindustan Times“Happy” doesn’t begin to describe what he’s feeling, says Shaunak Sen. “The emotion of crossing the finish line is far more complex and complicated. While I am grateful and overwhelmed, it is also a constant reminder of the intensity of the roller-coaster months that led to this day.” It took Sen, 34, three years to make the 93-minute documentary that recently won the L’Oeil d’Or at Cannes, and before that, the Grand Jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival. All That Breathes is the story of two brothers, Mohammad Saud and Nadeem Shehzad, who work out of a dingy basement in Delhi, rescuing and treating black kites and other birds struggling to breathe in the city’s polluted air. Meanwhile, I’m still in pursuit of the mythical world of networking, where one uses these smooth quips of “connecting over lunch”.
