Sahela at Deckchair Cinema
Sahela
"Sahela" captures the poignant journey of Vir Oza and Nitya Behl, a young married couple residing in the suburb of Parramatta in Western Sydney. Struggling beneath the weight of Indian familial expectations and its ingrained gender norms, Vir and Nitya's paths intersect at a critical breaking point, propelling Vir to disclose his true sexuality to Nitya. This revelation causes a disconnection between the couple, casting a cloud of societal disgrace over their family's deeply held cultural values. As Vir embarks on a voyage of self-discovery, Nitya grapples with the very fabric of her own reality, leading them down pathways of exploration and transformation. Albeit still emotionally tethered to each other, they unearth an alternate perspective on love.
The inaugural Darwin Pride Film Festival celebrates diverse stories on screen, with seven films screened over six nights at the Deckchair Cinema. Come down early for pre-film entertainment and stay back after the films to hear from special guests. A big thank you to Top End Pride and the Darwin Pride Festival for their fantastic support.
