Nepalese director Min Bahadur Bham's feature film The Black Hen won the Best Film Award at the 2015 Venice Film Festival's International Critics Week, and was nominated at the Singapore International Film Festival and the Stockholm International Film Festival. Shot on location in the director's hometown in Nepal, the story of the children's search for a lost hen is a powerful indictment of class and the country's civil war. It was selected as Nepal's official entry for the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 89th Academy Awards. This Showcase also features Wild Child, the winner of the Fresh Wave Award, juxtaposing the adventure with a camel in tow that complements the spirit of The Black Hen.
