![]() Miland Soman Made Me Gay & Gulabi Aaina (67mins) Presented By: Trikone AustralAsia (2007; USA; 27 minutes; English language) This film dives into the memory-scape of four South Asian gay men living in Washington DC; one Hindu, one Muslim, one Christian and one Sikh… to reveal how each negotiates his sexual desire with his cultural and religious background. Underneath the nostalgic explorations of life back home lie harsh realities of homophobia and racism in America, and an on-going struggle to find a place of belonging. ![]() Gulabi Aaina (The Pink Mirror) (2003; India; 40 minutes; Hindi language with English subtitles) Two bitchy drag queens and a sly gay teenager lust after a handsome hunk. A hilarious comedy, The Pink Mirror is replete with bitchiness and camp humour set a la Bollywood. Apart from being a drag romp, the film is an exposition of the Indian gay / transgender landscape, the humanly tender bonds between drag queens in India who form unique, non-patriarchal families and the lurking impact of HIV/AIDS.
