The shortlists for 10 categories of the 95th Academy Awards were announced on Thursday. The RRR song Naatu Naatu was shortlisted. Chhelo Show or The Last Film Show also made its way to the list for the International Feature Film category. Besides, Shaunak Sen’s All That Breathes which bagged L'Oeil d'Or at Cannes 2022, is shortlisted for the Documentary Feature Film category.
In an exclusive chat with OTTplay, Shaunak said, “We're besides ourselves with joy and relief. Not least because this shines more light on the singularly remarkable work our characters do, but also owing to the lovely films we are in the company of. We're genuinely thrilled with the recognition, and looking forward to the next steps in the film's journey.”
Meanwhile, Shaunak is also thrilled with India’s overall performance on the shortlists. “And of course, we're exhilarated about India's stunning performance at the shortlist level,” he said.
Shaunak’s All that Breathes won the L'Oeil d'Or (Golden Eye) award for best documentary at the 75th Cannes Film Festival this year. The documentary has been bought by HBO and will be available for the global audience to watch by the end of this year. Earlier, he said that he is keen to work on fiction -- especially adaptation of literary work. “I am not at liberty to talk about anything now. But I am keen to work on fiction," he told us.
