Filmbar and RPC's screening of Payal Kapadia's "All We Imagine As Light" at the Research and Publication Centre (RPC), on Friday, April 11, 2025, at 6:00 pm.
This movie is about the dreams of millions of invisible migrants who come to Mumbai with the hope of improving their lives, yet struggle to belong to a place that fully embraces them. It's about how women remain invisible in India, because their personhood continues to be filtered through a patriarchal mindset which fails to acknowledge them as individuals who are free to choose what they desire. They must fiercely contest for space in a society preoccupied with socially and morally policing their right to self-determination. The director wants us to pay attention to the lives of those that contemporary India has conveniently forgotten.
This is the first Indian film to win the prestigious Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival (2024).
Address: Research and Publication Centre (RPC), 2nd Floor, 65 Main Boulevard Gulberg, Lahore (Next to Standard Chartered Bank, above Indesign Showroom).
Lift is functional.
The screening will be followed by an informal discussion. All friends are welcome. Tea will be served.
