IWFF Presents
All That Breathes
International Wildlife Film Festival Presents a monthly offering celebrating emerging filmmakers and the future of wildlife & environmental filmmaking, culminating in a 7-day festival.
All That Breathes, directed by Shaunak Sen follows two brothers who run a bird hospital dedicated to rescuing injured black kites, a staple in the skies of New Delhi, India.
In one of the world’s most populated cities, where cows, rats, monkeys, frogs, and hogs jostle cheek-by-jowl with people, the “Kite Brothers” care for thousands of these mesmerizing creatures that drop daily from New Delhi’s smog-choked skies.
As environmental toxicity and civil unrest escalate, the relationship between this family and the neglected kites forms a poetic chronicle of the city’s collapsing ecology and deepening social fault lines.
All That Breathes is nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 2023 Academy Awards.
