Nepal’s Oscar Hopeful Shines at Cannes | Entertainment and Celebrity News
Description
Nepalese cinema just hit a historic high as “Elephants in the Fog,” directed by Abinash Bikram Shah, sweeps international acclaim — winning Cannes’ Un Certain Regard Jury Prize, securing global distribution deals across ten territories including the U.K., Spain, and India, and earning Nepal’s official Oscar entry. The gripping tale of a village leader hunting for her missing daughter against wild elephants resonates deeply, earning nominations at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards and cementing Shah’s rising star status after his acclaimed short film “Lori.” With North American rights nearing finalization, this is just the beginning of a global cinematic journey for Nepal’s bold new voice.
