Celebrated Indian filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has criticised India’s tendency to claim credit for individual achievements on the international stage, specifically highlighting Payal Kapadia’s recent win at Cannes 2024. Kashyap, known for his unfiltered opinions, expressed his discontent with the narrative that frames such successes as collective national triumphs without acknowledging the lack of support from the country.
The usual scenario of attending any film festival is that artistes go to showcase their films. An unusual scenario took place when Bangladeshi actress Ashna Habib Bhabna returned from the 77th Cannes International Film Festival, after scoring a Malaysian movie.
At this year's Cannes, India celebrated multiple prestigious wins. Director Payal Kapadia’s “All We Imagine as Light” clinched the Grand Prix award, a historic first for an Indian film. Actor Anasuya Sengupta earned the Un Certain Regard Prize for Best Actress for her role in “The Shameless”. Esteemed cinematographer Santosh Sivan was honoured with the Pierre Angenieux ExcelLens in Cinematography, and FTII student Chidananda Naik's “Sunflowers Were the First Ones to Know” won the La Cinef award, underlining a momentous year for Indian filmmaking.
Adnan and Tanveer Hossain’s co-produced Filipino short film “Radikals” has been nominated for its world premiere at the prestigious 77th Cannes Film Festival, at the 63rd Semaine de la Critique (SDLC) of Cannes, this year.
The screening was an emotional experience for the entire team. Selena Gomez was visibly moved as the audience erupted in cheers and applause, wiping away tears. Director Audiard also acknowledged the enthusiastic crowd from the balcony, expressing his gratitude.
In the evening of their local time, the red carpet was inaugurated, and the actress graced the opening ceremony wearing a midnight blue gown designed by Zoan Ash. Keeping her makeup and hair simple, she looked gorgeous.
