'Elephants in the Fog', directed by Abinash Bikram Shah, has made history as the first film from Nepal to win at the Cannes Film Festival, securing the prestigious Un Certain Regard Jury Prize at its 79th edition. The film, which marks Shah's feature debut, is set in Thori, a village in Nepal's southern Terai plains, and tells the poignant story of transgender women, focusing on Pirati, the matriarch of a Kinnar community. As Pirati grapples with her daughter's disappearance, she must navigate her longing for freedom against her responsibilities to her community. In his acceptance speech, Shah highlighted the power of cinema to illuminate marginalized lives and dedicated the award to his team, stating, 'We have made the invisible visible.' The film features a talented cast including Pushpa Thing and Deepika Yadav, and is co-produced by Underground Talkies Nepal and Jayanthi Creations, alongside international partners. Shah, who had previously received acclaim for his short film 'Lori', continues to pave the way for Nepali cinema on the global stage.
