Does Your House Have Lions (Documentary, 48-min)


Does Your House Have Lions follows the lives of two queer activists and academics in New Delhi. Shot like cinéma-vérité, the film moves around friends and lovers vqueeram lived with during the years leading up to and into the Covid-19 pandemic. Overlapping with the intensifying authoritarian political atmosphere in India, the film documents moments of queer intimacy and togetherness proposing possibilities for resistance against the immense power of the state.
