It will be for the first time that the country will host a “Bharat Parv” at the Cannes Film Festival to engage with film celebrities, filmmakers, directors, producers, buyers, and sales agents from across the world and showcase the creative opportunities and a rich bank of creative talent. 

This announcement, made by Shivendra Singh Dungarpur, founder of the Film Heritage Foundation (FHF) on Thursday, marks a significant moment for Indian cinema preservation and a testament to Benegal's enduring legacy.

Kapadia's "All We Imagine As Light" will be presented under the main segment alongside 19 other highly anticipated titles.

The Cannes Film Festival has appointed actor-filmmaker Greta Gerwig as the jury president for its upcoming 77th edition.
