76th BAFTA: Indian Film 'All That Breathes' Loses To 'Navalny' In Best Documentary Race

"All That Breathes", which has been internationally co-produced, has been directed by Shaunak Sen. The film was the only Indian nomination at the BAFTAs this year.

New Delhi: Indian hopes at the ongoing 76th edition of the BAFTA came crashing down as the Indian documentary "All That Breathes" lost the Best Documentary honour to "Navalny".

"All That Breathes", which has been internationally co-produced, has been directed by Shaunak Sen. The film's intricately layered portrait reveals an evolving city and a fraternal relationship bonded by purpose as it follows siblings Mohammad Saud and Nadeem Shehzad, who rescue and treat injured birds. The film was the only Indian nomination at the BAFTAs this year.

Talking about the winning title, "Navalny" has been directed by Daniel Roher, and revolves around Russian Opposition leader Alexei Navalny and events related to his poisoning and the subsequent investigation into the poisoning.

The film premiered on January 25, 2022, at the Sundance Film Festival as the final title in the US Documentary Competition section, where it won the Festival Favourite Award and the Audience Award for the US Documentary Competition.

The German epic film "All Quiet on the Western Front" dominated the BAFTA Awards in London on Sunday night with a record-breaking seven wins, including for Best Director, Best Film and Best Film Not in the English Language.

The tally means the World War 1 epic now holds the record for a film not in the English language. The previous record was held by 1988 film "Cinema Paradiso", which won five BAFTAs, reports 'Variety'.

Meanwhile, Colin Farrell-starrer "The Banshees Of Inisherin" won the second most awards of the night, including both supporting actor categories with wins for Barry Keoghan and Kerry Condon, who emerged as the correct winner after fellow nominee Carey Mulligan's name was initially called in error. Writer and director Martin Mcdonagh also won for Original Screenplay and Outstanding British Film.

The BAFTA awards were held at the Royal Festival Hall in London and are being streamed live on Lionsgate Play.
