Get to know the short film: WE DID NOT FALL FROM THE SKY, 26min., UK, Experimental/Relationship

Short Film: Playing at the LGBT Short Film Festival – December 11, 2017

Purushi, Pratiksha and Shalu are three best friends and trans women struggling to find their place in contemporary Indian society, often via the only means of making a living available to them: sex work and begging. Our film is a highly stylised art piece – the live action is intercut with animation and dreamlike dance sequences.
