The Best (environmental) Film You've Never Seen: All That Breathes

Join us for a special screening of the award-winning documentary 'All That Breathes' in celebration of National Biodiversity Month, presented by RMIT Culture.

Winner of the Best Documentary Prize at both the Sundance and Cannes Film Festivals, 'All That Breathes' follows the journey of two brothers, Nadeem and Saud, who dedicate their lives to saving the Black Kite – a bird of prey essential to New Delhi's ecosystem that is mysteriously plummeting from the skies. 

Set against the backdrop of environmental degradation and social unrest, the documentary captures the brothers' tireless efforts in their makeshift avian hospital. Directed by Shaunak Sen, the film explores the deep connection between the Kites and the brothers who are determined to see them soar again. 

Presented in partnership with the Environmental Film Festival Australia, the screening will open with an introduction by RMIT's Shweta Kishore, followed by a Q&A with Director Shaunak Sen.  

Don't miss this thought-provoking celebration of coexistence, nature, and its preservation.  

Presented by RMIT Culture in partnership with RMIT Cinema Studies, supported by the Environmental Film Festival Australia.

This Hideous Replica

Lifting its title from a misheard line in a 1980 song by The Fall about a reclusive dog breeder whose 'hideous replica' haunts industrial Manchester, this experimental project—a concoction of artworks, performances, screenings, workshops, a 'replica school' and other uncanny encounters—adopts monstrous replication as a tactic, condition and curatorial framework for exploring algorithmic culture, simultaneously alienating, seductive and out-of-control.
