Payal Kapadia is one of the leading names among the fraternity of filmmakers as she has won multiple accolades at Cannes. Her triumph at the 77th Cannes Film Festival for her debut feature film, All We Imagine As Light, gave a remarkable turning point in her career. Now, the acclaimed filmmaker made her Cannes red carpet debut and returned to the French Riviera as a jury member.
Payal will serve as a jury member at Cannes 2025 along with actors like Juliette Binoche, Halle Berry, Jeremy Strong and others. For the opening night, Payal gave Boss Lady vibes as she was dressed in a tailored suit by designer, Arjun Saluja. As Payal made headlines, let’s look back at the time when this FTII alumnus faced disciplinary action for leading a protest in the prestigious institute.
