All We Imagine as Light (2024) at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival] The title is about hope and about when things are looking a bit bleak - you don't know that there's a way out and you don't sort of imagine that way out - and I thought that hope and light could be used synonymously; and the title was also in the dialogue in the film because of one the characters is stuck for a long time in a dark room and can't imagine light - somehow this connected for me with the idea of a possibility; that you don't see the possibility when you never had it.
