All We Imagine as Light, dir. Payal Kapadia, France/India/Netherlands/Luxembourg 2024, 115 min., Malayalam and Hindi with English subtitles, 15


Book tickets

Prabha, Anu and Parvaty are employees at a hospital in Mumbai. They grapple daily with the opportunities and hardships of existence in the city.
 
Balancing an immersive vérité style with a touch of the surreal, Payal Kapadia’s (A Night of Knowing Nothing, distributed by ICA CINEMA) Cannes Grand Prix-winning drama captures the many shades of working-class life in Mumbai. The result is a profound and deeply humanist meditation on urban migration and dislocation.

The screening on Friday 29 November is followed by a Q&A with Payal Kapadia, hosted by ICA Cinema curator Nicolas Raffin.
