There is definitely a sense of loss. And pain. And grief. Yes, OTT platforms can be liberating for the creative soul, but the algorithm, damn the algorithm comes like a betaal that the creative soul has to forever be burdened with. Whither liberation! I did not like All We Imagine As Light. I found it tedious. But, the fact that Payal Kapadia had the courage to bring to fruition such a labour of love to the silver screen is something to love, like and respect. Bollywood is probably on a death spiral and OTT is hastening that process while OTT itself is on an infinite carousel. While the fight rages, in the bargain our neurons have been conditioned and mastered and there is Death on one hand and Birth on the other. Of what was, and what will be. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful writing.
