Congratulations to Payal Kapadia “All We Imagine as Light” by Payal Kapadia won the Grand Prix at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival "All We Imagine as Light" delves deeply into the nuances of memory and how it shapes our sense of self and our relationships. The film portrays characters who navigate their past traumas and memories, which influence their current lives and decisions. This exploration highlights the fragility and malleability of memory, showing how it can be both a source of comfort and a burden. Identity is another central theme, as the characters struggle to reconcile their past experiences with their present identities. The film examines how personal and cultural histories intersect, impacting the characters' understanding of who they are and where they belong. The complexity of human relationships is depicted through the interplay of light and shadow, symbolizing moments of clarity and obscurity in understanding oneself and others. Kapadia uses these visual elements to convey the emotional depth and intricacies of connections between people. Overall, the film offers a poetic and contemplative look at how our inner worlds, shaped by memories and relationships, influence our perceptions and actions in the present. #AllWeImagineAsLight, #PayalKapadia, #IndieCinema, #ArtHouseFilm, #CinematicPoetry, #FilmFestivalFavorite #MemoryAndIdentity, #HumanRelationships, #LightAndShadow, #CulturalHistories, #EmotionalDepth, #PastAndPresent, #VisualStorytelling, #RevelationAndUnderstanding, #IdentityStruggles, #PoeticNarrative

During a book tour in Europe, he does a reading at Shakespeare and Company, where three journalists interview him: one is convinced the novel's characters meet again, another that they do not, and a third who wants them to but is doubtful that will occur. Céline also attends the reading. Required to leave for the airport in an hour, Jesse and Céline use the time to roam Paris. Their conversations soon become deeply personal, and they passionately discuss work, politics and lament their failure to meet again in Vienna or exchange contact details. Céline informs she did not return as her grandmother died, and Jesse claims that he did not return either; after Céline asks him why he did not, he confesses that he did return. They reveal how their lives have changed in the nine years apart: Jesse is married and has a son named Hank, while Céline has become an environmental activist and is in a relationship with a photojournalist. Their old romantic feelings become slowly rekindled while walking around Paris. Jesse says his novel was inspired by the hope of seeing Céline again, and she says that reading it caused painful memories. To learn more watch the video and see clips.

Want to become a film expert in half a day? "The 12-Hour Film Expert" covers movies that are universally significant and essential to film history. Despite its brevity, the book is surprisingly far-ranging and detailed.

• When did seeing a film make you feel seen? • What collective movie-viewing experience do you recall having with others? • How do movies track our history as a people? These are some of the questions arising from conversations with Jackson Cooper, MFA, ED of the AMERICAN GENRE FILM ARCHIVE. We're exploring together the role of personal narratives in advocating for the preservation, protection and promotion of genre films and filmmakers. Living Proof Advocacy offers me the chance to work with experts from so many fields; this one—film and cultural history—really resonates with me. How about you? Do these questions prompt memories of your lived experience of films and filmgoing?

FilmTipp: The Zone of Interest ⬅ "The Zone of Interest," by director Jonathan Glazer, is a thought-provoking film exploring the Holocaust through a unique narrative style. It utilizes sound as a character, features innovative filming techniques, and challenges traditional storytelling. While emotionally challenging, it paints a powerful, realistic and relevant picture. In its essence, there are two films simoultanesly happening: The one you see and the one you hear. Alone from a technical and creative standpoint The Zone of Interest is revolutanairy and will likely become a kult film in Europe. They filmed the actors with pre installed cameras while watching from a different Set next doors, which gave the actors the intimacy to truly settle into the characters without a full Set of people surrounding them. Another special creative decision are the narrative interruptions in the form of time travelling into present day or just a blanking out the screen in colours. It reminded me of storytelling that is usually found in video installations, not big screen cinema. As the director has put it, this film is not only about the past. It is eerily releveant today, and althought it is an incredibly hard watch, it is one that you should "go through" as the only way forward is to confront our history and confront what is happening today. 💔 #thezoneofinterest #jonathanglazer #sandrahüller #christianfriedel #filmtipp
