Filmmaker Shuchi Talati has been winning accolades across film festivals. Soon after her movie Girls Will Be Girls won a title in the World Cinema Dramatic category at Sundance 2024, it earned a nomination for the Gotham Awards, an American presentation that aims to celebrate independent films in New York City. 

“I am incredibly honoured to be recognised,” says the director, adding, “This nomination is not just a personal milestone; it reflects the collective efforts, creativity, and passion of everyone involved. Our film seeks to illuminate the complexities of female experiences in a fresh and engaging way, and I hope it resonates deeply with audiences. This recognition inspires us to continue pushing boundaries in storytelling.”
