All We Imagine As Light Secures Two Nominations At The 2024 Gotham Awards For Best International Film And Best Director

Payal Kapadia's film, "All We Imagine as Light," has earned two significant nominations at the 2024 Gotham Awards. It is nominated for Best International Film and Best Director. These awards, organised by the Gotham Film & Media Institute, honour independent filmmaking achievements. The ceremony will occur on December 2 at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.

The film previously won the Grand Prix at Cannes and delves into the lives of two Kerala nurses, Prabha and Anu, facing personal and cultural challenges in Mumbai. This marks a milestone as it's the first Indian film to be acknowledged in these categories. The Best Director category is new this year, while Best International Film is in its fourth year.

The Gotham Awards are prestigious American film awards presented annually to independent filmmakers in New York City. Part of the Gotham Film & Media Institute, formerly known as the Independent Filmmaker Project (IFP), it is the largest membership organisation in the US dedicated to independent film since its founding in 1979. This year marks the 34th edition of these awards.

Receiving nominations at the Gotham Awards highlights the film's cinematic brilliance. Following its debut at Cannes, it has garnered rave reviews and attracted audiences in France and Italy. The film is set for a US release before arriving in Indian theatres on November 22.

"All We Imagine as Light" is an official Indo-French co-production involving petit chaos from France and Chalk & Cheese alongside Another Birth from India. Spirit Media handles its distribution across major cities in India.

The recognition at the Gotham Awards underscores the film's impact on global cinema. Its journey from Cannes to international acclaim reflects its storytelling prowess and cultural significance.
