After the screening we'll be joined by director Rohan Kanawade for a Q&A. Set in rural Maharashtra, Cactus Pears follows Anand (Bhushaan Manoj), a Mumbai call-centre worker who returns to his ancestral village to observe the ten-day mourning ritual following his father’s death. While navigating the pressures of family expectations and marriage, he reconnects with Balya (Suraaj Suman), a childhood friend facing similar struggles. Over the course of the mourning period, their bond deepens into a tender and intimate relationship, creating a quiet exploration of grief, identity and queer love within a traditional rural community. The programme includes BAFTA winning short - Two Black Boys in Paradise, directed by Baz Sells. A moving animation based on Dean Atta’s poem. Teens Edan and Dula go on a journey of self-acceptance and love - for each other and themselves.
