“Sadiq is not lecturing us or trading in types; he is taking us by sensory surprise, and the tale that he tells is funny, forward, and sometimes woundingly sad.”
— New Yorker

The youngest son in a traditional Pakistani family takes a job as a backup dancer in a Bollywood-style burlesque and quickly becomes infatuated with the strong-willed trans woman who runs the show. With stunning honesty that’s achingly bittersweet, JOYLAND tackles gender and sexual fluidity in a repressed patriarchal society with wisps of hopefulness. Sponsored by Canopy Salon. 

Backstage reception on June 24 at 6 PM with Q&A after the film.
