CHUTNEY POPCORN

GUEST CURATED BY

Inside Out 2SLGBTQ+ Film Festival

As a struggling artist and Honda-riding out-lesbian, Reena (Nisha Ganatra) feels she has nothing on her older married do-perfect sister Sarita (Sakina Jaffrey) - except her ovaries, that is. When Sarita and her husband discover that they cannot have children, Reena offers to serve as a surrogate mother. All that stands in the way is convincing her sister, mother, friends, and commitment-phobic girlfriend, Lisa (Jill Hennessey,) to go along with it.

This programme will also feature Noor & Layla, directed by Fawzia Mirza. Noor and Layla are breaking up. It's the end of the road for these two Muslim women...or is it just the beginning? Five life-changing moments in their relationship are marked by the Muslim call to prayer.

This screening is guest curated by Inside Out
