Kapadia has been fascinated by mixing fiction and non-fiction since film school. 'Instead of being bound by these restrictions, it's nicer to be freed by them,' she said.
When Kapadia was writing the script, she knew that her film wasn't story-driven. 'It would be driven by the characters and the relationships between them,' she said.
The city was like a character in the film. So these things were in my mind. It's like cooking, you have to put a mix in.
Kapadia's film has received strong recognition, winning the Grand Prix at Cannes and building buzz at festivals like Telluride and Toronto.
