All That Breathes won the Best Documentary Prize at Cannes in 2022. As legions of birds fall from New Delhi’s darkening skies, and the city smoulders with social unrest, two brothers race to save a casualty of the turbulent times: the black kite, a majestic bird of prey essential to their city's ecosystem. Following the screening, Shaunak Sen will join the room via Zoom to give a talk and take questions from the audience. The talk will be hosted by Professor Matthew Beaumont (English Literature), Co-director of UCL Urban Laboratory, and we invite attendees to stay on for drinks and networking to continue the conversation and share ideas. The event will take place at Bertha DocHouse, Curzon Bloomsbury, The Brunswick, London WC1N 1AW, which is fully accessible. Booking is essential and tickets are £5.00, which includes complimentary refreshments following the screening and talk.
