...in 30 years. Last was Swaham (1994).

This is huge. Congratulations to Payal Kapadia and team!

In the festival’s 77th edition, Kapadia’s feature will compete with the latest films by some of the biggest names in world cinema. Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, Sean Baker’s Anora, Yórgos Lánthimos’s Kinds Of Kindness, Paul Schrader’s Oh Canada, Magnus Von Horn’s The Girl With The Needle and Paolo Sorrentino’s Parthenope too have been picked for the festival’s competition section, among others. Greta Gerwig, director of Ladybird and Barbie, will preside over the jury.
