3/3/2015
Purple Skies is a sensitive documentary film about
lesbians, bisexuals and trans-men, directed by filmmaker and activist Sridhar
Rangayan is to screen at Queer Film Festival in Bangalore this weekend. The screening is a special feeling for
the director who hails from Mandya and was born and brought up in Bangalore,
“This is home coming for a film that has been traveling across the world”.
Purple Skies was premiered at the 5th
KASHISH Mumbai International Queer Film Festival, has traveled more than twenty
five festivals around the world and receiving acclaim from global audience
members. Rangayan hopes that the
subject of his film will bring about
a change in perceptions and attitudes both among the LGBT community and in the
larger civil society.
Weaving together
heartrending stories of LBT community victimized and subjugated by family
society and law, the film applauds those courageous youngsters who have come
out of the closet and chose to live a life of personal freedom.
Produced by
Public Service Broadcasting Trust (PSBT) in association with Solaris Pictures,
the film raises crucial issues, questions our faulty legal system.
