Nepali feature film Elephants in the Fog has made history by becoming the first Nepali film to be selected in the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival. The film follows a family living in a settlement affected by elephant attacks, focusing on the mother-daughter relationship. Written and directed by Abinash Bikram Shah, the film will compete at the 79th edition of the festival, scheduled to be held in France from 12th to 23rd May. Un Certain Regard, a section introduced in 1978 that highlights emerging filmmakers and distinctive storytelling voices, runs parallel to the competition for the Palme d’Or and is considered the second most prestigious section at Cannes.
