NEW DELHI – The nominations for the coveted British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) 2025 are finally out.

As per expectations, Payal Kapadia’s ground-breaking directorial All We Imagine as Light is in the run for the Best Foreign Language Film. Moreover, out of five, three titles by Indian-origin filmmakers are competing in the Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer category.

These include Sandhya Suri’s ‘Santosh,’ Karan Kandhari’s Sister Midnight, and Dev Patel’s Monkey Man.

After receiving two nods at the Golden Globes, All We Imagine as Light earns a nod at the BAFTA Awards.

The budding filmmaker’s maiden project received two nods at the prestigious Golden Globe Awards. These include the Best Non-English Language Film and Best Director awards.

However, the film failed to secure a win. Despite this, All We Imagine as Light emerged as one of the top titles of 2024, globally. Kapadia outshined in the 77th Cannes Film Festival.
