Payal Kapadia and her brilliant debut feature film All We Imagine As Light have been nominated in two categories at the prestigious Golden Globe Awards. The director earned a nod for Best Director for a Motion Picture, and the film was nominated in the Best Motion Picture in a Non-English Language category at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards. Kapadia is the first Indian woman director to be nominated for the coveted Golden Globe award.
Kapadia responded to the nomination, “This recognition is truly humbling. I am grateful to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for this honor, and I dedicate it to the incredible team who made this film possible.”
A Hindi-Malayalam language masterpiece, All We Imagine As Light features brava-worthy performances by Kani Kusruti, Divya Prabha, and Chhaya Kadam. Set in the heart of a city, All We Imagine As Light is a soulful study of three women living in contemporary working-class Mumbai. All We Imagine As Light explores their experiences and is complex, beautiful, sad, full of darkness and light, both imagined and real, and it’s utterly brilliant. With its distinct art-house feel, it takes you inside an emotional Indian tale.
Kapadia has already garnered international acclaim with her remarkable success at the Cannes Film Festival, where the film won the Grand Prix earlier this year. The film, which has earned a perfect 100% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, was also named Sight and Sounds Best Film of the Year, taking the coveted top spot, which is voted for by around 100 of the world’s top film critics. Earlier this week, it won Best International Feature at the Gotham Awards (New York), followed by the New York Film Critics Circle 2024. It was similarly nominated in the same category at this weekend’s British Independent Film Awards (BIFA).
Hopefully, on January 5th, we will hear twice, and the winner is All We Imagine as Light!
