The 2024 Cannes Film Festival has been a significant event for Indian cinema, with multiple accolades highlighting the country's talent. Payal Kapadia, a former FTII student, won the Grand Prix for her film 'All We Imagine As Light,' marking a historic achievement for Indian filmmakers. Kapadia, who once faced disciplinary action at FTII, has been celebrated for her contributions to cinema, receiving praise from notable figures such as Priyanka Chopra and Shashi Tharoor. Tharoor has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to withdraw cases against Kapadia and her fellow students involved in past protests. Additionally, cinematographer Santosh Sivan received a standing ovation for his work, and Anasuya Sengupta won the Best Actress award in the Un Certain Regard section. These achievements underscore India's growing influence on the global cinematic stage.
A Brighton Beach stripper saga, an absurdist Canadian satire, and a musical that’s as if Pedro Almodóvar remade ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ as a searing musical crime drama. These are the 12 best movies we saw at Cannes this year. https://t.co/dXTgNDYm2m
