Indian filmmaker Payal Kapadia has brought a proud moment for India by bringing the Grand Prix home.
00:08
Payal Kapadia's film, All We Imagine as Life, won the second highest award of the Cannes Film Festival 2024.
00:17
Scripting history by becoming the first Indian filmmaker to win the Grand Prix,
00:23
it was awarded to Payal and the team at the closing ceremony of the film festival on Sunday, 25 May.
00:30
All We Imagine as Life by Payal Kapadia became the first film to compete in the main competition for the Pan Diyar title after 30 years.
00:41
Prior to this, Shahji and Karun's Swaham was the last film to compete in the main competition in 1994.
00:50
Kapadia's All We Imagine as Life is a story of three ladies portrayed by Kani Khusruthi, Divya Prabha and Jhaya Kadam.
01:01
It premiered at Cannes on 23 May and received 8 minutes of standing ovation.
01:08
While receiving this award, Payal expressed herself.
01:12
She said, "I'm nervous, so I wrote something down.
01:16
Thank you to the Cannes Film Festival for having our film here.
01:20
Please don't wait 30 years to have another Indian film.
01:23
This film is about friendship, about three very different women.
01:28
Oftentimes, women are beated against each other.
01:31
This is the way our society is designed and it is really unfortunate.
01:36
But for me, friendship is a very important relationship because it can lead to greater solidarity,
01:44
inclusivity and empathy."
01:46
She also thanked her fellow team mates without whom the project would be incomplete.
01:52
Her victory is almost celebrated as a festival in India.
01:56
It is indeed a proud moment for the country.
02:00
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated her, saying,
02:05
"An alumnus of FTII, her remarkable talent continues to shine on the global stage,
02:12
giving a glimpse of the rich creativity in India.
02:16
All we imagine as a light is the story of two nurses, Rabha and Anu,
02:21
who go on a long road trip where they get the space to manifest their dreams."
02:27
Stay tuned for more updates.
