The light, the lives, and the textures of contemporary, working-class Mumbai are explored and celebrated by writer/director Payal Kapadia, who won the Grand Prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Centering on two roommates who also work together in a city hospital — head nurse Prabha and recent hire Anu — plus their coworker, cook Parvaty, Kapadia’s film alights on moments of connection and heartache, hope and disappointment to create a soulful study of the transformative power of friendship and sisterhood, in all its complexities and richness. ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT is deservedly one the years most critically acclaimed films and a lustrous achievement that announces Payal Kapadia as an essential filmmaker.

HELD OVER! 1950. William Lee, an American expat in Mexico City, spends his days almost entirely alone, except for a few contacts with other members of the small American community. His encounter with Eugene Allerton, an expat former soldier, new to the city, shows him, for the first time, that it might be finally possible to establish an intimate connection with somebody. An adaptation of William S. Burroughs’ semi-autobiographical book by acclaimed filmmaker Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name), QUEER is a phantasmagorical distillation of Burroughs' ideas and preoccupations, featuring a commanding, brilliant performance from Daniel Craig.
