THE FIRST INDIAN Competition entry in 30 years also walked away with the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival 2024.
This is a first since 1946 and Chetan Anand's 'Neecha Nagar'.
Sailesh Ram, editor of www.asianculturevulture.com asked writer-director Payal Kapadia what her Grand Prix (unofficially the runners-up to the top Palme d'Or) what her win meant to the Indian film industry as a whole...
Watch and listen to her answer ....
She was joined by her lead actors in the film, Kani Kusruti, Divya Prabha, and Chhaya Kadam. The two women sat closest to her hail from Kerala and speak Malayalam with each other in the film - Kapadia talks about regional filmmaking in India and its strengths and name checks the state and its own regional Malayalam language cinema as being particularly strong.
Hurrah - she did it!
Review coming to the site
Also Anasuya Sengupta, the lead of the film, 'The Shamelesss' won the Un Certain Regard Best Female Performance Award. This too is history - no Indian has ever won such an accolade. The Uncertain Regard section is one below Competition where Kapadia's film competed against some of the best known directors on the planet.
