Manchester
Joyland (15) + Q&A with Saim Sadiq
Shortlisted for Best International Film at this year's Oscars, the trailblazing film that has been accumulating historic milestones and accolades for Pakistan on the world stage but banned in its own country delves deep into the challenging complexities of desire and gender identity.
As the happily patriarchal Rana family craves the birth of a baby boy, the youngest of the Rana men secretly joins an erotic dance theatre and finds himself falling for a fiercely ambitious trans starlet. Their impossible love story slowly illuminates the entire Rana family’s desire for a sexual rebellion.
