Indian film 'All We Imagine As Light' wins Grand Prix at Cannes

Payal Kapadia on Saturday scripted history by becoming the first Indian filmmaker to win the Grand Prix award at the Cannes Film Festival for her film "All We Imagine as Light".The film bagged the award, the second-most prestigious prize of the festival after the Palme d'Or, which went to American director Sean Baker for “Anora".Kapadia's movie, which screened on Thursday night, is the first Indian film in 30 years and first ever by an Indian female director to be showcased in the main competition.
'All We Imagine As Light' has been described as "a delicate triple portrait of women who have devoted their lives to helping others, but have received precious little in return in terms of money, status or freedom."As would be expected from a Payal Kapadia film, it makes a strong political statement as well by showing one of the characters, a Hindu, nurturing a relationship with a young Muslim man.The film's climax, in more than one way, is the scene of them making love in a forest near the beach town where the three lead characters decide to have a little break.The stars of the Indian-French co-production are Kani Kusruti, who audiences outside Kerala would identify as the one who plays the strong-willed personal secretary of Huma Qureishi's character in 'Maharani', Chhaya Kadam, last seen bringing the house down with her stellar performance in 'Laapataa Ladies', and Divya Prabha.

Other Indian films that have previously been selected for the Cannes' competition section include works by Chetan Anand, V Shantaram, Raj Kapoor, Satyajit Ray, MS Sathyu, and Mrinal Sen. 'Neecha Nagar' remains the only Indian film to have won a Palme d'Or. The jury was presided over by Greta Gerwig, director of 'Ladybird' and 'Barbie'.
