Delhi-based filmmaker Shaunak Sen's documentary "All That Breathes" will premiere in the Special Screening segment at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.

There is no denying the power [of "All That Breathes"] or its subject; there’s also no denying the heartbreak of its images.

“All That Breathes” is the kind of poetic environmental ode that opens itself up to much more than its base, and would benefit from a theatrical distributor able to let its birds soar on the scale that the big screen provides.

The grand jury prize for international documentaries went to “All That Breathes,” Shaunak Sen’s beautifully observed film. 

"All That Breathes" won the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize: Documentary at the recently concluded Sundance Film Festival.

Shaunak Sen’s "All That Breathes" — awarded the Grand Jury Documentary Prize at Sundance Film Festival this week — is the kind of film that doesn’t join the dots as much as it just underlines them.

"All That Breathes" artfully ties together the social and ecological concerns which plague Delhi. Vividly capturing the sights and sounds of the city, we get a keen sense of its fragile ecosystem.

Shaunak Sen’s "All That Breathes" is one stunner of a documentary, not to mention a persuasive reminder to look up into the sky.

In a little under three minutes, Sen has encapsulated a vision of New Delhi in which modern life, particularly pollution and overpopulation, have placed new strain on the balance between humans and nature. What follows is one of the more dreamily provocative documentaries I’ve ever seen.
