Free Talk: Miguel Gomes & Payal Kapadia
This free talk will bring directors Payal Kapadia and Miguel Gomes—both practitioners of artful docufiction—together for a conversation about their influences, aspirations, and methods.
This free Talk will take place on Wednesday, October 9 at 4:00pm in the Amphitheater.
When Payal Kapadia won a historic Grand Prix at this year’s Cannes Film Festival for her second feature, All We Imagine as Light (the first Indian film to play in competition at Cannes in 30 years), she paid homage to another Cannes prizewinner whose work has deeply influenced her: Miguel Gomes, whose Grand Tour won the award for Best Director. The resonances between their films go beyond Cannes laurels and directorial inspiration. All We Imagine as Light traces the stories of three women in present-day Mumbai, while Grand Tour follows a British colonial officer and his fiancée as they traipse across various East Asian cities in 1918—but both are city symphonies that center love stories within broader political contexts and are driven by the pulsings of female desire. This discussion will bring Kapadia and Gomes—both practitioners of artful docufiction—together for a conversation about their influences, aspirations, and methods. Moderated by Devika Girish.
