Agra

Boldly navigating themes of sexual repression, this film follows a young man's journey amidst the bustling streets of an overcrowded city of Agra, renowned for its majestic Taj Mahal, which we never see.

Girls Will Be Girls

In this unusual film, meet our 16-year-old heroine Mira, whose sexy coming-of-age gets disrupted by her own mother's coming of age. Funny, but serious.

In Flames

Zarrar Khan's striking debut In Flames blurs the lines between psychological thriller and gripping social drama.

Tiger Stripes

A carefree 11-year-old girl starts to experience horrifying physical changes to her body as she gets her period and slowly turns into a tiger in this B-grade, low-tech dramatic thriller.
