Meet the Authors | 'A Space for Care' with Shaunak Sen
Friday, 12 June, 2026
In this Meet the Authors event of Volumen 10: Peace, Wimblu’s Team holds a conversation with the filmmaker Shaunak Sen, director of the film ‘All That Breathes’, which inspired the text ‘In Search of a Space to Breathe’ written by Fernando Chaves and featured on the creative documentary column of Wimblu Magazine. In this conversation we explore the ideas at the heart of his documentary: care as a response to the ecosocial crisis, the entanglement of political and ecological violence, and the quiet, radical act of tending to lives that the logic of progress deems expendable.We talk about how his formal choices — slow, deliberate, carefully composed images — resist the urgency and fear that dominate mainstream environmental storytelling, and instead invite the viewer into something different: a cinema of attention. We also explore the story of Nadeem and Saud, the brothers at the center of the film, as "philosophers of the urban" whose shelter for injured black kites becomes a ritual of resistance and a search for a common peace. And we ask Shaunak how, as an inhabitant of New Delhi, he finds peace in a city where the air itself is in crisis — and whether non-human beings offer any guidance.A conversation about documentary filmmaking, ecological grief, and the possibility of care as a transformative force.Watch the full interview and join the conversation.Read the text ‘In Search of a Space to Breathe’ by Fernando Chaves Espinach here: https://wimblu.com/en/volumen-10/busca-espacio-para-respirar/ Subscribe to our free Newsletter to get the latest news of events, publications and more here: https://wimblu.com/en/subscribe/ Help us continue with our mission to recognize and honor the interconnectedness between our human and more-than-human worlds through author-driven creative nonfiction.
