Payal Kapadia is a Mumbai based filmmaker and artist. She studied Film Direction at the Film & Television Institute of India. Her work deals with that which is not easily visible, hidden somewhere in the folds of memory and dreams. It is between minor, ephemeral feminine gestures where she tries to find the truth that makes up her practice. Her much acclaimed short film Afternoon Clouds was India’s sole official selection in Cannes film Festival, 2017, in Cinefondation section. Her experimental short And what was the Summer Saying had its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival (2018). It also received the Special Jury Prize at the International Documentary Film Festival of Amsterdam IDFA (2018) and the Pramod Pati Best Experimental Film Prize at the Mumbai International Film festival (2020).

Presently Payal is working on making her first feature film All We Imagine as Light which she developed at the Cinefondation Cannes Residency in Paris (2019-20).
