Filmmaker Payal Kapadia continues to excel on the international scene.
After receiving two Golden Globe nominations for her film All We Imagine as Light, the movie has also secured a nomination for the Critics Choice Awards 2025.
The Critics Choice Association recently revealed the nominees for the upcoming awards, with All We Imagine as Light being recognised in the Best Foreign Language Film category.
The official account of the awards ceremony on X (formerly Twitter) announced the nominees, expressing, "Congratulations to the #CriticsChoice nominees for BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM," followed by the list of the six nominated films: All We Imagine as Light, Emilia Perez, Flow, I'm Still Here, Kneecap, and The Seed of the Sacred Fig.
All We Imagine as Light narrates the tale of Prabha, a struggling nurse who unexpectedly receives a gift from her estranged husband, and Anu, her young roommate who yearns for closeness with her boyfriend. Their trip to a seaside town compels them to face their innermost desires and feelings. The film features KKusruti, Divya Prabha, and Chhaya Kadam in prominent roles.
This Indo-French collaboration, led by Petit Chaos (France) and Chalk & Cheese and Another Birth (India), made history earlier this year. It became the first Indian film in three decades to participate in the main competition section of the Cannes Film Festival, where it was awarded the esteemed Grand Prix.
