Payal Kapadia's Malayalam language movie, All We Imagine As Light, has bright prospects of being nominated by India for the coming Oscars. Though it was shortlisted by France (as it has a French producer) the film did not make the cut.

Payal Kapadia's Cannes winner 'All We Imagine as Light' will begin its Indian Oscar-qualifying run with a release in the southern state of Kerala.

All We Imagine as Light, with a primarily Indian cast and crew, became the first film from the country in three decades to compete at Cannes in the main competition this year, and the first to win the prestigious Grand Prix. At the Oscars, the film will compete in the international feature category.

All We Imagine as Light” is a remarkable film that seamlessly blends visual poetry with a profound exploration of personal and societal change.

All We Imagine As Light is hopeful of being picked up as India's entry for Oscars in Best International Feature Film category.
