Payal Kapadia's film 'All We Imagine As Light' was adjudged the best international feature film at the 2024 Gotham Awards. The annual awards, which honours independent films across the world, was held in New York on Monday.
The announcement comes days after the movie, which won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival, received the Jury Grand Prize at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards (APSA) 2024. It is interesting to note that films that won the Gotham Awards in the past have gone on to be nominated for the Oscars, although this may not be applicable for 'All We Imagine As Light', which was not selected as India's official Oscars entry.

Other nominees in the category were 'Green Border', 'Hard Truths', 'Inside The Yellow Cocoon Shell', and 'Vermiglio'. Kapadia was also nominated in the best director category but was bested by RaMell Ross of 'Nickel Boys', reported PTI.
'All We Imagine As Light', starring Kani Kusruti and Divya Prabha, follows the story of two Kerala nurses who navigate their lives in Mumbai. It released in theatres across India on December 22. First-time filmmaker Shuchi Talati was nominated in the breakthrough director category for 'Girls Will Be Girls'. Vera Drew emerged the winner in the segment for the superhero parody 'The People's Joker'.

The film, which marks the production debut of actor couple Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal, revolves around Mira, a 16-year-old girl whose rebellious awakening is intertwined with her mother's unfulfilled coming-of-age experiences. It stars Preeti Panigrahi, Kusruti, and Kesav Binoy Kiron.
