The 76th British Academy Film Awards, known as the BAFTAs, concluded at the Royal Festival Hall in London, England on Sunday. The event, which was hosted by actor Richard E Grant, was a star-studded affair and witnessed German anti-war film ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ taking home seven awards, including the two big wins, Best Film and Best Director.
At the BAFTAs 2023, India's ‘All That Breathes’, directed by Shaunak Sen, was nominated as well in the Best Documentary category. But the film lost to Daniel Roher's ‘Navalny’.
