Pride Cinema: Joyland

Winner of the Un Certain Regard Jury Prize and the Queer Palm at Cannes, as well as Best International Film at the Film Independent Spirit Awards, Joyland is a visually radiant drama set in the bustling megacity of Lahore. Feeling pressure to provide, long out of work househusband Haider lands an unexpected gig as a backup dancer for trans performer (Alina Khan), with whom he becomes infatuated. This striking feature debut upends traditional gender roles and identities through a story of complex and imperfect expressions of love.
