The Pink Mirror
Directed by Sridhar Rangayan, 2003, India, 40 min (In Hindi
& English with English subtitles)
A winner of many international film festival awards (and at
one time banned in India), The Pink Mirror is a
pioneering work of queer, independent South Asian film.
The melodrama reveals and relishes in the happiness,
jealousies, passions, and anguish of two
“queens” as they complete for the attention of
a handsome hunk.
68 Pages
Directed by Sridhar Rangayan, 2007, India, 42 min (In Hindi
& English with English subtitles)
Shedding light on an issue often ignored in India, 68 PAGES
exposes how Indian society can stigmatize and shun those
who are HIV+ or even those who want to live outside the
norm. Through the writings of a counselor in her diary, we
are introduced to the lives of some transgender and gay
characters who tell their stories of pain and trauma, but
also of happiness and hope.
