What does it really mean to be a “model minority”?

Payal just stepped into Surarquía's sun-lit workshop near the Sagrada Familia and straight into the story of two South-American dreamers who turned a Barcelona flat into a leather lab. Alejandro (Venezuela) and Felipe (Colombia) swapped architecture sketches for pattern-making, taught themselves to sew, and after kitchen-table prototypes, opened this atelier where every bag is cut, skived, and stitched by their own hands . In 2023 they finally moved the machines out of the apartment and into a purpose-built space, but the process is still gloriously slow and local In today's episode, Payal gets the founders'-eye tour: the vintage Adler stitcher, the splitter that hums like an old Vespa, and the stopwatch that shows why a single Surarquía piece takes an entire workday to earn its seams.

I'm so excited to be speaking today with Payal Desai: a wife, mother, and a former middle school teacher turned full time content creator on social media. After her hilarious “no dusty sons” videos went viral on Instagram, she amassed a 349K following and took the leap of faith to pursue her passion full time. As a true teacher at heart, Payal is passionate about using her platform to deconstruct parenting myths and gender stereotypes while amplifying South Asian voices. She has many gems to share with us regarding her journey, and during this episode we'll get to learn about her in a way that we can't off of social media, including her exciting future endeavors! Let's dive right into it. Welcome, Payal! To connect with Payal for mentorship or guidance, she can be reached via Instagram @payalforstyle 

Ep. 287: Payal Kapadia on All We Imagine as Light Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. Payal Kapadia's All We Imagine as Light keeps gaining new admirers and garnering more honors (since winning the Grand Prix at Cannes last spring). I had a wonderful conversation with Kapadia about the myriad directorial decisions that went into creating her nuanced portrait of three women in Mumbai—two roommates, Prabha (Kani Kusruti) and Anu (Divya Prabha), who work at a hospital, and their older widowed friend, Parvaty (Chhaya Kadam), a cook who's in danger of losing her home. She goes into detail on inspirations for the characters, the details of Mumbai she strove to capture, her choices about composition and color and sound, the influence of her mother on her work, and much, much more—including, of course, recent favorites from her moviegoing.

Listen in to learn a lot about Mumbai, filmmaking in India, and what how Kapadia's work in documentary informs her style; a blend of fiction and non-fiction filmmaking.

At this year's Cannes Film Festival, the director Payal Kapadia won the prestigious Grand Prix award for her debut narrative feature, “All We Imagine as Light.” It's one of the buzziest films of the year and the first Indian film in 30 years to compete at Cannes. The story centres around three women who are each living and working in Mumbai. Though they're all financially independent, they're not free from the expectations of what it means to be women in a patriarchal society. Payal joins guest host Talia Schlanger to talk about making a film that celebrates female friendship, how she addressed some of her own biases against women in the film, and how she feels about it not being selected to represent India at the next Oscars.

"All We Imagine As Light" had its world premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the festival's Grand Prix prize and received some of the most glowing reviews of the year for its writing, direction, cinematography, and performances. Director/Writer Payal Kapadia was kind enough to talk with us during the New York Film Festival about her work on the film, which you can listen to and watch below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will play in New York at Film Forum and Lincoln Center and Los Angeles at Laemmle Royal starting November 15th from Janus Films & Sideshow and is up for your consideration for this year's Academy Awards in all eligible categories including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay.

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 latest films go beyond Cannes laurels and directorial inspiration. All We Imagine as Light, which opens in American theaters this Friday, 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 films are city symphonies that center love stories within broader political contexts and are driven by the pulsings of female desire. Last month at the New York Film Festival, Film Comment editor Devika Girish moderated a conversation with Kapadia and Gomes—both practitioners of artful docufiction—which touched on their influences, aspirations, and methods.

This week we're excited to present a conversation with director Payal Kapadia and producer Thomas Hakim of the NYFF62 Main Slate selection All We Imagine as Light. All We Imagine as Light opens at Film at Lincoln Center on November 15 with Payal Kapadia in person! Get tickets at filmlinc.org/light The light, the lives, and the textures of contemporary, working-class Mumbai are explored and celebrated with a vivid, humane richness by Payal Kapadia, who won the Grand Prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival for her revelatory fiction feature debut. Centering on two roommates who also work together in a city hospital—head nurse Prabha (Kani Kusruti) and recent hire Anu (Divya Prabha)—and a newly retired coworker Parvaty (Chhaya Kadam), Kapadia's film alights on prosaic moments of connection and heartache, hope and disappointment. Prabha, her husband from an arranged marriage living in faraway Germany, is pursued by a courtly doctor; Anu carries on a romance with a Muslim man, which she must keep a secret from her Hindu family; Parvaty finds herself dealing with a sudden eviction from her apartment. Kapadia captures the bustle of the metropolis and the open-air tranquility of a seaside resort with equal radiance, articulated by her superb actors with an unforced expressivity and by the camera with a lyrical naturalism that occasionally drifts into dreamlike incandescence. This conversation was moderated by NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim.
