‘Beluga’ wins Best Documentary Feature.

‘Beluga’ a film produced by Mathieu François in association with Canopy Media has just won the Best Documentary Feature award at the Noida International Film Festival 2023.

The film follows an epic journey undertaken by Mathieu from Mumbai to Kathmandu, as a tribute to his recently departed father, who had taken the same trip over 30 years ago. What made this trip unique, is that Mathieu’s companions on this trip were two goats and a dog!

The light hearted adventure film explores themes of dealing with personal loss, spirituality and animal welfare. Besides wining in Noida, Beluga was also an official selection at film festivals across the world, including FFI London, Palm Beach International Film Festival, Athens International Film Festival, Red Movie Awards France, and many more.

The Canopy team worked closely with Mathieu, going through over 100 hours of footage and crafting a narrative to best reflect his adventure. The film was edited by Aalok Padhye, who won an award for Best Editing at the Tiete International Film Awards, Brazil. Music for the film was composed by Tanmay Bhattacherjee, sound design and foley done by Tanmay and Prashant Dogra, and mixing by Drona Acharya.
