Check out his post:
All We Imagine as Light has been creating history at the international stage. The journey began when it won the Grand Prix award at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. It was the first Indian film in 30 years to feature in Cannes’ main competition section. The film was recently nominated for two Golden Globes and the Critics’ Choice Awards. In addition, Payal bagged the Spirit of Cinema award at the 29th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) a few days ago. The film wasn’t chosen as India’s official selection for the Oscars, but is being campaigned aggressively in the Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay categories.
For the unversed, All We Imagine As Light is about the story of Prabha, a troubled nurse who receives an unexpected gift from her estranged husband, and Anu, her young roommate exploring intimacy with her boyfriend. Their trip to a beach village helps them in navigating their desires and emotions. The movie features Kani Kusruti, Divya Prabha, and Chhaya Kadam in lead roles. It is an official Indo-French co-production between Petit Chaos (France) and Chalk & Cheese and Another Birth (India).
