Indian cinema has a rich legacy of storytelling: Rana Daggubati

Payal Kapadia’s All We Imagine As Light is now set to release across limited screens in Kerala. This is the first time that the film will be released in Indian Theatres. The film made history earlier this year at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, where it became the first Indian film ever to win the prestigious Grand Prix. Spirit Media founded by Rana Daggubati has the exclusive rights to distribute the film in India.
Rana added, “We are proud to be able to bring this incredible film to audiences in India, starting with Kerala where the two leading characters of the story are from. Indian cinema has a rich legacy of storytelling, and this film captures the Indian experience through characters speaking multiple languages coming from different parts of the country with similar shared dreams to a metropolis like Mumbai"
This is the first Indian film in over 30 years to enter the Main Competition of the Cannes Film Festival, and marked Payal as the first Indian female filmmaker ever chosen for this competition. ‘All We Imagine as Light’ was among 22 films competing for the Palme d'Or Award along with the likes of high profile filmmakers such as Andrea Arnold, Francis Ford Coppola, Jia Zhang-Ke, Paolo Sorrentino, Sean Baker and Ali Abbasi.
The film is an official Indo-French co-production between Chalk and Cheese Films from India and petit chaos from France.
