All We Imagine As Light, directed by Payal Kapadia, has made headlines with its nomination for the prestigious Best Film Not in the English Language category at the 2025 EE BAFTA Film Awards. Despite being recognized in this significant category, Kapadia missed out on nominations for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay.
Recognition for Indian Cinema
The BAFTA nomination highlights another global milestone for Indian cinema. Announced by actors Mia McKenna-Bruce and Will Sharpe, the film’s achievement marks its ongoing journey in the international awards circuit. However, it was originally longlisted in three categories: Best Film Not in the English Language, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay, managing to secure only one nomination.
The other films nominated in the same category include:
- Emilia Perez
- The Seed of the Sacred Fig
- I’m Still Here
- Kneecap
This recognition follows the film’s earlier Golden Globe nomination for the same category, where it competed against Emilia Perez but ultimately did not win.
