As one of the largest film producing Nation with a thriving Film industry, Indian Film makers have fetched huge accolades at his years\u2019 Cannes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the first time in 30 years an Indian film, Payal Kapadia&#8217;s \u2018All We Imagine as Light\u2019 which centers around the lives of two nurses, was nominated for the Palme d&#8217;or, the highest award in the festival. Kapadia&#8217;s film won the Grand Prix, the second position in the category. With this win Payal Kapadia, a FTII alumnus, becomes the first Indian to bag this prestigious award. This comes after 30 years when Shaji N Karun\u2019s \u2018Swaham\u2019 competed for highest honour.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Payal\u2019s film was granted official Indo-French co production status by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, under the signed Audio-Visual treaty between India and France. Permission for shooting of the film was also granted by the Ministry in Maharashtra (Ratnagiri and Mumbai). The film received Interim approval for 30% of the Qualifying Co-production expenditure under the Incentives Scheme of the Government of India for Official Co-production.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Film and Television Institute of India&#8217;s student Chidananda S Naik bagged the first prize in the La Cinef section for \u201cSUNFLOWERS WERE THE FIRST ONES TO KNOW\u201d, a 15-minute short film based on a Kannada folklore. This FTII film is a production of the FTII\u2019s TV Wing\u2019s One-year program where four students from different disciplines i.e. Direction, Electronic Cinematography, Editing, Sound worked together for one project as a year-end coordinated exercise. Before joining FTII in 2022, Chidanand S Naik was also selected as one of the 75 Creative Minds at 53rd International Film Festival of India (IFFI), an initiative of Ministry of I&amp;B to recognize and support budding young artists in the field of Cinema. It is important to note that an India-born Mansi Maheshwari&#8217;s Bunnyhood, an animated film, bagged the third prize in the La Cinef Selection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Festival celebrated the work of world famous Director Shyam Benegal. After 48 years of its release in India Benegals\u2019 Manthan, preserved at the National Film Archives of India (NFDC-NFAI under Ministry of Information and Broadcasting) and restored by the Film Heritage Foundation, was showcased at Cannes in the classic section.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The much renowned Cinematographer Santosh Sivan, known for his rich body of work in Indian cinema became the first Asian to be awarded the prestigious Pierre Ang\u00e9nieux Tribute award at the 2024 Cannes film festival in recognition of his &#8220;career and exceptional quality of work&#8221;. Another individual who made history at Cannes is Anasuya Sengupta as she became the first ever Indian to win the Best Actress award for her performance in \u2018The Shameless\u2019 in the \u2018Un Certain Regard\u2019 category.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another independent film maker who shines at Cannes was Maisam Ali, also a FTII alumnus. His film \u201cIn Retreat\u201d was screened at the ACID Cannes sidebar programme. It was the first time an Indian film was screened in the section run by the Association for the Diffusion of Independent Cinema, since its inception in 1993.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As we witnessed a historic year for Indian Cinema at 77th Cannes Film Festival, Film and Television Institute of India has a special reason for celebrating its accomplishments as its Alumni such as Payal Kapadia, Santosh Sivan, Maisam Ali and Chidanand S Naik shines at Cannes. FTII is an autonomous institute under Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India and functions as a society with the financial support from Central Government.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The priority of Central government to promote film sector by way of facilitation through single window clearance, joint production with different countries, supporting education in the filed of Cinema through its autonomous institutes such as Film and Television Institute of India and Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute or multi-faceted efforts in establishing India as the content hub of the world all are bringing positive impact at National and International stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India\u2019s performance at 77th\u00a0Cannes Film Festival has been phenomenal with 2 filmmakers, an actress and a cinematographer won top awards at the world&#8217;s leading film festival.
