We got a quick blurb update from the folks at Variety: After campaigning since Cannes, Payal Kapadia has offered a glimpse into the near future and it seems she’s planning to continue exploring Mumbai as the setting for a cityscape trilogy. The Cannes Grand Prix-winning filmmaker is currently in the writing phase of her third feature, so it’s likely we won’t see the film until 2026 at the earliest. It’s way too early to tell what thematic or story or backdrop elements will carry over from one film to the next but she’ll likely find a lot of financing partners seeing that this lit up the film festival and year-end awards circuits.
In our ★★★½ review: “Although it’s a completely different, inherently more experimental film, Kapadia’s 2021 documentary A Night of Knowing Nothing is, in effect, similarly about a woman witnessing drastic cultural shifts going on around her.”
