German film\u00a0No Hard Feelings<\/em>\u00a0to be the opening film, Australian film\u00a0Unsound<\/em>\u00a0to close the festival<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 12th<\/sup>\u00a0edition of KASHISH Mumbai International Queer Film Festival, South Asia\u2019s biggest LGBTQIA+ film festival, will open on August 19 virtually with the Teddy Award winner\u00a0No Hard Feelings<\/em>\u00a0about Iranian refugees in Germany, and will close on September 5 with the Australian film\u00a0Unsound<\/em>\u00a0about a young deaf trans man\u2019s romance with a musician.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a sheer joy to open and close KASHISH 2021 with two brilliant award winning films centered on the youth. These films are not only layered and sensitive, but also are an entertaining exploration of the landscape of LGBTQIA+ youth \u2013 their aspirations, their dreams. These two films will bookend a whole range of feature films, documentaries and short films that are playing as part of KASHISH 2021.\u00a0These joyful youth films will certainly help Unlock With Pride.\u00a0What is best is you can watch it from your own homes, not only in India, but across the world too\u201d, said Sridhar Rangayan, festival director<\/p>\n

The opening film\u00a0No Hard Feelings<\/em>\u00a0is about Parvis (Benjamin Radjaipour), the son of exiled Iranians, who after caught shoplifting is sentenced to community service at a refugee shelter where he meets the siblings Banafshe (Banafshe Hourmazdi) and Amon (Eidin Jalali), who have fled Iran. As a romantic attraction between Parvis and Amon grows, the fragile relationship between the three is put to the test.<\/p>\n

The director brings his own personal experience of growing up as a second generation Irani migrant, and also explores his own experiences as a gay man, lacking words to talk about his identity. In his work, Faraz re-inhabits this history and builds a visual archive of migration in Germany.<\/p>\n

NO HARD FEELINGS
\n<\/strong>Dir: Faraz Shariat \/ 92 min \/ Germany<\/p>\n

Parvis, the son of exiled Iranians, was caught shoplifting. He is sentenced to community service at a refugee shelter where he meets the siblings Banafshe and Amon, who have fled Iran. As a romantic attraction between Parvis and Amon grows, the fragile relationship between the three is put to the test.<\/p>\n

The closing film Unsound is a beautiful heartwarming story of Noah (Reece Noi –\u00a0Games Of Thrones<\/em>) who returns disillusioned to his mother\u2019s home in Sydney, and meets Finn (deaf actress Yiana Pandelis –Legends<\/em>\u00a0), a proud young, trans-man who works and runs a local centre and nightclub for his deaf community. But as the two become closer, and with no shared language to fall back on, they only risk hurting each other, as they learn to be true to themselves.<\/p>\n

Speaking about\u00a0Unsound,\u00a0<\/em>Suzy Wrong has said in a review on JOY 94.9 FM, \u201cFor me, a person of trans experience, I found it not only refreshing but also unimaginably inspiring to see something so sweet, yet authentic\u2026 Ultimately, this is about disadvantaged people getting opportunities and it was fantastic that they gave someone with a disability this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

When gigging guitarist, Noah, finds himself disillusioned and transient, he quits the band of his 90\u2019s pop icon mentor, and returns to his mother\u2019s home in Sydney, Australia, seeking connection and rejuvenation. Clashing with his mother over old wounds, Noah seeks solace elsewhere, and soon finds himself swept up in the vibrant, passionate life and of a young, trans-man, Finn, who is a proud, Auslan-only speaker who works and runs a local centre and nightclub for his deaf community. Together, the pair traverse new ground, sharing their languages \u2013 Noah\u2019s music and Finn\u2019s signs \u2013 with one another. They move carefully, as this is Finn\u2019s first relationship while he is on the precipice of diving into his trans journey. Finn struggles to spread his wings and come into his own, as he suffocates beneath his father\u2019s over-protection and the financial strife facing his club. Determined to reapply to his music and join a community, Noah offers to help aid the club any way he can. But as the two become closer, and with no shared language to fall back on, they only risk hurting each other, as they learn to be true to themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is so awesome to see that a hearing impaired person has been cast to play the lead part of Finn. This is what diversity and inclusivity in casting is all about\u201d, said Rangayan.<\/p>\n
