Renowned filmmaker Onir recently delved into the international premiere of his latest project, “We Are Faheem And Karun,” at BFI Flare 2025. During the event, Onir addressed the prevalent issue of misrepresentation of the queer community in mainstream cinema and the biases they face. The film aims to shed light on the challenges and struggles faced by individuals within the LGBTQ+ community, offering a platform for authentic storytelling and representation. Onir’s dedication to bringing these important narratives to the forefront underscores the need for more diverse and inclusive storytelling in the film industry, especially in a country like India where such topics are often stigmatized. Through “We Are Faheem And Karun,” Onir continues to champion the voices of marginalized communities and advocate for greater acceptance and understanding.
