Shabana Azmi is an actress of international renown, the emblematic face of both the new Indian cinema, known as ‘parallel cinema’, and a host of major commercial successes. She has won a record five national awards for best actress in India. But her formidable fame has never distanced her from the social and political realities of her country. A United Nations ambassador, she was also the first Indian to be awarded the Gandhi International Peace Prize for her commitment to defending women’s rights and fighting poverty. She will be coming to Nantes to celebrate her 50-year career.
