Delhi serves as the setting for All That Breathes for those who are unfamiliar. Its premise centres on the post-apocalyptic atmosphere and the increasing violence taking place in the big city. Nadeem and Saud, two brothers, appear in it. The movie has received numerous awards at events and film festivals. It most recently took home the Grand Jury Award in the Sundance 2022 Global Cinema Documentary Competition. It additionally took home the Golden Eye prize for outstanding documentary at the Cannes Film Festival in 2022.
Speaking about his movie “It’s a privilege to have my movie playing at a major film festival like All Living Things Environmental Film Festival. I’ve tracked their progress, and each year they’ve provided a fantastic collection of films for viewing. The notion of using cinema, a powerful medium, to raise awareness of the environmental problem is amazing. I’m eager for Indians to witness the ecological shift that is the subject of my film.”
