‘All We Imagine As Light’ Director Payal Kapadia On Indie Filmmaking, Oscars Snub In Conversation With Hirokazu Kore-eda
Payal Kapadia also talked about the challenges facing indie filmmakers in India during a conversation with Japanese auteur Hirokazu Kore-eda in Tokyo.
She also touched on how she felt about the fact that All We Imagine As Light was not selected by India’s Oscars committee as its submission for the Best International feature category, but was gracious about the snub. This gave her exposure to films from around the world, and across different eras, including works by Kore-eda, as well as Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Edward Yang, Tsai Ming-liang, and classics from Japan’s Akira Kurosawa, and Indian auteurs Ritwik Ghatak and Satyajit Ray. She explained that All We Imagine As Light, about two women of different generations sharing a room in Mumbai, started in the same casual way as A Night Of Knowing Nothing, involving a collaborative working experience with her DoP.
