Does Your House Have Lions
Captioned for d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing viewers
“An archive of friendship – near, far and displaced”. Filmed over six years, following Delhi-based poet, teacher and activist vqueeram and a group of friends living together in New Delhi, Does Your House Have Lions invites us into a world of queer kinship, love and joy, experienced amidst – and in resistance to – the inequalities of caste, patriarchy, religion and fascism.
This screening is presented in partnership with Glasgow Artist Moving Image Studios. On Friday 5 August, Does Your House Have Lions will screen as part of Govanhill International Festival and Carnival 2022 and will include a live Q&A with Director, Vishal Jugdeo. More information and tickets available here.
