Meanwhile, ‘All That Breathes’ is also nominated in the ‘Documentary Feature Film category.’
Shaunak spoke to Etimes and reacted on being nominated. He expressed, “It’s feeling extraordinarily difficult to say something that doesn’t sound like a cliche. We’re utterly besides ourselves with joy and a bit lost for words at this moment. Utterly relieved, happy and somewhat discombobulated. I want to offer my deepest, most heartfelt thanks to our incredible characters and the whole film team and I am grateful to the Academy for recognising their work.”

‘All That Breathes’ has won top awards at the Sundance Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival. The docu film was appreciated for its bold yet delicate story telling. Los Angeles Times even called it the ‘most beautifully realised documentary in recent memory.
