Director Onir, who is very committed in his stand for the LGBTQ community, has unveiled the first poster of his highly awaited film, ‘Pine Cone.’
The movie is set to open in South Asia’s largest queer film festival, Kashish, on 7th June. The plot reveals the love story of a gay man as he navigates through love, loss and desire.
Onir said, “I and the entire team of Pine Cone are thrilled that our film will have the world premiere at KASHISH which I consider to be home. This is for the first time that any of my films is having a world premiere in India and it’s special for many reasons. It comes at a historic time when the Supreme Court of India is debating marriage equality. Our film is a celebration of queer gaze and it gives me immense pleasure to bring it to my city at this very precious festival.”
The festival will close on 11th June with the Canadian feature film ‘When Time Got Louder’ directed by Connie Cocchia, who identifies as an LGBTQ director, producer and writer. The movie is a story of a young lesbian girl and her bond with her autistic brother.
The first poster of Pine Cone is out and we can feel the intense emotions that are a big part of the film. Onir continues to champion the LGBTQ community, reinforcing the importance of authentic representation in India.
