Payal Kapadia Hopes the Success of ‘All We Imagine as Light’ Leads to a Mumbai-Set Trilogy

With “All We Imagine as Light” having won the Grand Prix at Cannes and later earning Best Non-English Feature Film from multiple critics groups, including the New York Film Critics Circle and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, writer/director Payal Kapadia is already planning not only her next project, but potentially the project after that, too. Speaking in a recent interview with Variety, the Golden Globe-nominated filmmaker teased her future plans now that the film has placed such a spotlight on her.
“I started writing my next movie, and it’s also going to be a film in Bombay,” said Kapadia. “It’s a bit early, but I’m thinking about doing two more films in Bombay, to have this kind of a trilogy.”
Despite the success “All We Imagine as Light” has found, it was not chosen to be India’s Oscar submission for Best International Feature Film.
