Winner of the Un Certain Regard Jury Prize and the Queer
Palm at Cannes, as well as Best International Film at the Film
Independent Spirit Awards, Joyland is a visually radiant drama set
in the bustling megacity of Lahore. Feeling pressure to provide, long out of
work househusband Haider lands an unexpected gig as a backup dancer for trans
performer (Alina Khan), with whom he becomes infatuated. This striking
feature debut upends traditional gender roles and identities through a story of
complex and imperfect expressions of love. (Pakistan/USA,
2022, 127 mins, Punjabi & Urdu with English Subtitles | Dir. Saim Sadiq)
