"RUBINA BY NIGHT" IS STREAMING ON QUEERBEE

Rubina_sari+on+balcony.jpg

“Rubina By Night” is a short experimental documentary about the day in the life of Rudra Bahadur Bhujel, a young transgender woman, born as a boy.  Rudra migrated from the lowlands of Nepal, the Terai, headlong into the hustle and bustle of very urban Kathmandu. She came for education, and for work. The discrimination she faced in employment hasn’t stopped her from trying to achieve her goals. Currently she earns her money as a sex worker, and each afternoon she transforms herself to go out into the Kathmandu night to ply her trade.

World Premiere of "Pink Tiffany" at Kathmandu International Mountain Film Festival

Pink Tiffany Poster Final Web.jpg

We are very excited to premiere our new documentary film "Pink Tiffany" at the 15th Kathmandu International Mountain Film Festival in December 2017. 

Meghna Lama is a torch-bearer for the transgender community in Nepal.  Bravely embracing her transformation in a culture that often values sons and daughters very differently, her dauntless attitude and spirited laugh are a powerful reminder of not only what it is to be transgender in Nepal, but ultimately, what it is to be human.

While Nepal may be a beacon of progress, legally recognizing an “other” gender, this film is a breaking of the silence on the daily struggle to gain not only social legitimacy, but also family acceptance, perhaps the largest hurdle for all of our personal journeys and dreams.

Film Screens on December 16th, 2017.
