Underground Kalkines Népal - les valseurs – DGS “Elephants in the Fog,” a Nepalese thriller set to bow at the Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard section, has been boarded by Brussels-based sales company Best Friend Forever. “Elephants in the Fog,” marks the debut feature of emerging director Abinash Bikram Shah, whose short “Lori” received a Special Mention in Cannes’ short film competition in 2022. He also co-wrote “Shambhala,” directed by Min Bahadur Bham, which screened in competition at the Berlin Film Festival in 2024. Set in a small Nepalese village surrounded by a forest populated by wild elephants, the story follows Pirati, the matriarch of a Kinnar community, who dreams of escaping to a “normal” life with the man she is in love with. But when one of her daughters disappears, she must investigate and choose between love and responsibility to her community.
