Exclusive | All We Imagine As Light shows Indian cinema's non-Bollywood face to Europe: EU ambassador Herve Delphin

Hindustan Times  

The 29th edition of the European Union Film Festival is currently underway in Delhi right now. On the sidelines of the opening night, HT caught up with the European Union's Ambassador to India, Herve Delphin, to talk about cinema's transformative power, the festival's success, and Payal Kapadia's All We Imagine As Light. Excerpts: EU ambassador Herve Delphin praised Payal Kapadia's All We Imagine As Light When discussing ties between two nations or regions, we think of politics and diplomacy. And I think this is what the EU Film Festival does: it provides an opportunity for the Indian public to see European movies that otherwise they would not have access to. So if through cinema, people can meet and exchange experiences, and Indian audiences develop an interest and a taste for Europe the same way Europeans would develop a taste for India by watching Girls Will Be Girls, All We Imagine As Light, or Santosh, that that creates this kind of personal bonds of connect.
