LAHORE: THAAP, in collaboration with the Documentary Association of Pakistan and The Eqbal Ahmad Project, organised the screening of the acclaimed documentary film ‘All That Breathes’ on Saturday. The screening was followed by a panel discussion featuring eminent actress Nadia Jamil, Project Curator Siraj Ali, and leading social development professional Quratulain Bakhteari, who participated via video link. The event attracted a diverse audience and explored critical themes of environmentalism and inter-species coexistence, as beautifully depicted in the film directed by Shaunak Sen. The short film was showcased as part of The Eqbal Ahmad Year of Tribute: 25 Years On festival. ‘All That Breathes’ has earned prestigious accolades, including awards at the Sundance Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival, and the Peabody Awards. It was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. The film chronicles the inspiring journey of two brothers, Nadeem and Daud, who dedicate their lives to rescuing the black kite, a vital species in the ecosystem of New Delhi. Their efforts underscore the urgent need for environmental stewardship amidst escalating ecological challenges. The panel discussion after the screening fostered an engaging dialogue among the speakers, addressing the key themes of the film and the personal and political legacies of Eqbal Ahmad. The thought-provoking conversation, complemented by audience contributions, resonated deeply with attendees, prompting reflections on their roles in promoting environmental conservation and social responsibility. Before the screening, a compelling video collage featuring insightful lectures by revolutionary thinker Eqbal Ahmad was showcased, setting the tone for the evening’s discussions.
