HEADBANG

Through the lens of two different young women, Leila, from secular background, and Amara, from a religious one, HEADBANG explores the complex power of the hijab, and how a seemingly simple piece of cloth embodies both what the wearer imbues it with and what society project onto to it.

PINCH

Directed by Uttera Singh

One misstep. One lie. A neighbourhood ready to erupt.
As a woman battles harassment and hush-hush hypocrisy,
In a world that punishes truth, she must decide: protect the peace, or blow it all up.
