The team of the film All We Imagine As Light, director Payal Kapadia, and actors Chhaya Kadam, Divya Prabha and Kani Kusruti were present at the Cannes Film Festival 2024 to accept the award at the film festival’s closing ceremony. In her acceptance speech, Payal made a special request to Cannes.
“I’m very nervous, so I wrote something down. Thank you to the Cannes Film Festival for having our film here. Please don’t wait 30 years to have another Indian film,” Payal said in her acceptance speech. “This film is about friendship between three women and oftentimes women are pitted against each other. This is the way society is designed and it is very unfortunate. But for me friendship is a very important relationship because it can lead to greater solidarity, inclusivity and empathy towards each other,” she added, as reported by The Indian Express.
