India (1978): Documentary/Short
Fresh out of film school, Vinod Chopra's documentary about Bombay street children went all the way to Hollywood, where it was nominated for an Oscar. It swept the awards at the Oberhausen Film Festival, winning 9 out of the 12 prizes, and also won the top prizes at festivals in Milan, Leipzig, and Finland. At the International Film Festival of India, it won the Golden Peacock. The technique of the film was singled out for special mention: direct, unwavering conversations with children, neither patronizing nor pitying. (Vinod Chopra.com)
