Our Program

Our program is threaded through with explorations of masculinity – in its unraveling and its construction, in its excesses and limitations – as found in friendship, desire and resistance.

We’ll be screening films by four South Asian filmmakers; three of whom are based in and around NYC and will be joining us for a post screening discussion about their craft.

Headlining our program is Alexander Farah’s award winning short, One Day This Kid (2024). The film follows Hamed, an Afghan Canadian boy, as he comes into adulthood under the weight of his father’s expectations – confronting fear, desire and shame, in search of a self unknown. One Day This Kid premiered at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, and won the Grand Jury Prize at South by Southwest 2025 amongst a host of other accolades.
