Two women struggle to follow their hearts, juggling family responsibilities and the vagaries of love in Priya Sen's rich portrait, filmed over a year in Delhi.

We’re collaborating with gal-dem to create their film club, drawing inspiration from the theme of their new print issue, which centres on the topics of rest and unrest.

Come along to the first event in the series, where the film of the night will be Shakedown – the debut feature length documentary from Hood By Air cofounder Leilah Weinraub spotlighting the queer strip scene in LA. Through archive footage from Weinraub, the resident videographer for The Shakedown club night for over 15 years, the film gives us a peek into the community they created and the impact it had.
