‘Joyland’ Filmmaker Saim Sadiq On Ban And Reverse Ban In Pakistan: “I Made The Film I Wanted To Make” DeadlineContenders
The story follows a patriarchal family as they yearn for the birth of a baby boy to continue the family line, while their youngest son secretly joins an erotic dance theater and falls for a trans woman. The film explores a whole family, presenting a picture of a clan torn between modernity and tradition in contemporary Lahore.
Sadiq said he didn’t think he was tackling a risky subject. “My only interest was cinematic,” he said. “I wanted to talk about patriarchy and I wanted to talk about sexuality and gender in relation to myself and my family and my surroundings and my city.” He said he “never looked at it as ‘Oh it is such a bold or courageous film.’ I made the film that I wanted to make.”
