A film inspired by true events<\/h4>\n

\"\"The Tamil feature \u201cCoffee Caf\u00e9\u201d is a compilation of four stories of four characters that get beautifully connected to each other. Based on true events, the main characters in the film come together one night, and a plot unfolds. Vinothini, a divorced independent woman runs a coffee caf\u00e9 and creates modern plays based on the traditional Therukoothu street play format; Kaveri, a 40-year-old transgender housekeeping staff, is constantly trying to prove how members of the transgender community are fit for the general community and fight for their rights; Senthil is an independent filmmaker who struggles to make his debut film amidst a financial crisis; Pooja a free-spirited girl who wants to live life in her own terms, taking up risks along the way and a young gay boy Raja and his struggles for love and survival are the main characters of the film. On one fateful night, a certain incident makes them connect which one leads the plot.<\/p>\n

A director’s struggle to reach KASHISH 2020<\/h4>\n
\n

Arunkumar Senthil, the director and scriptwriter from Chennai has been working as an actor, scriptwriter and discussion crew because of his passion towards filmmaking. He directed and produced his independent debut Tamil Feature film \u201cCoffee Caf\u00e9\u201d in 2020. He is waiting for better recognition from Film Festivals for \u201cCoffee Caf\u00e9\u201d and trying to release in theatres.<\/p>\n

Senthil has come a long way with his struggles since his initial projects in 2012, with his first\u00a0Tamil musical album\u201cMudhal Paarvai Mudhal Kadhal\u201d where he was the actor-director. His first Tamil Short Film \u201cSudha – Transgender\u201d completed in 2016, got him awards and was watched by n<\/span>early a million on YouTube, while his second short, \u201cThe Boy – Transgirl\u201d got few awards in Film Festivals.<\/p>\n

“I feel really honoured that Cafe Coffee has been selected for KASHISH 2020. As a filmmaker, I feel really proud to be a part of KASHISH since I have been following KASHISH for the past few years, as South Asia’s largest LGBTQ+ festival,” says Senthil. He is really glad that the screening at KASHISH will provide him with the international exposure that his work requires at this point.<\/p>\n

His fellow filmmakers whose films made it to KASHISH had really gained mileage from the exposure and Senthil is really optimistic. “In the previous\u00a0editions of KASHISH, my fellow\u00a0filmmakers told me that their movies have been selected in international film festivals after they were officially selected to be screened at KASHISH. With the international acclaim that the festival has gained for itself, KASHISH is the best platform for LGBTQA+ themed films,” he says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Reel life, a reflection of the real<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
Senthil ran a coffee cafe in real life, about five years back and in the process found many stories and characters that posed to be inspiration for his film. “I hired a transgender and a gay boy at my coffee shop, and this was where the idea for writing a film script came from,” says Senthil. “I actually wanted to make a transgender story that would be a lead for mainstream character, something that the general public could relate to. I chose three parallel stories, based on common characters, to travel with my LGBTQ+ lead and support his narrative.
\n\"\"“It is not just an LGBTQ+ movie, the theme is supported by other characters that make it fit to be a general community film. This does not mean, that I do not feel that the LGBTQ+ community is very much part of the general community.Coffee Cafe is a positive Indian transgender film. I tried to highlight issues of the LGBTQ+ community in a general setting. What makes it special is the treatment of the film.<\/p>\n

“The film captures the LGBTQ+ community in a positive light and we portray the relationship between the community and the society in a very good manner. That is my message in the film – that we must treat the LGBTQ+ people with the respect they deserve.”I<\/p>\n

t is a sensitive genre to deal with, and Senthil’s advice to filmmakers who want to make films on the community is that they should spend time, study their life and lifestyle properly before making a film on the community. “They deserve to be in the spotlight for all the good reasons. Make them inclusive in your films. They are a part of our lives and LGBTQ+ characterisation should be allocated in mainstream movies, LGBTQ+ people should be given opportunities to be cast in the films and their genesis and contributions towards the society, captured and documented well,” concludes Senthil.
