All That Breathes: Film Screening and Discussion with the Filmmaker

A film screening of All That Breathes (2022), followed by a Q & A with the filmmaker, Shaunak Sen, a Visiting Postdoctoral Fellow in Department II for 2024, moderated by Jesse Olszynko-Gryn.

 

All That Breathes:
Amid environmental toxicity and social unrest, the ‘kite brothers’ Nadeem and Saud spend day and night caring for the ‘black kites,' a raptor bird species, in their makeshift avian basement hospital. The Academy-nominated film is a poetic examination of inter-species coexistence in South Asia, through the singular story of one family and their relation with Black Kites. The film received nominations at the 2023 Academy and BAFTA awards, and won awards at Cannes, Sundance, BFI London, IDA and Cinema Eye, and 24 other film festivals.

The trailer is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoTlULspDyY

About This Series

This event is part of the Laboratory for Oral History and Experimental Media Spring 2024 series. 

This new series of monthly institute-wide meetings begins a collective exploration of the theory and practice of oral history and ethnography as powerful, multimodal research methods for recovering perspectives and experiences that are often absent from traditional archives. Together, we will engage with diverse forms of research and communication across a range of media and visit local sites of interest.
