A Home for My Heart
A Home for My Heart (Hridoy Basat) is a Bangla film with English subtitles that tracks the journeys of Sudeb Suvana, a trans feminine person. She thinks that her heart will find home in her body after gender affirmation surgery, but the process also reveals subtle shifts in her relationships with her partner, her parents and her brother. Is the quest for the perfect home for our heart ever complete? The 63 minute film is directed by Sankhajit Biswas in collaboration with Suvana. This is the film's first screening in the US.
Tuesday 3/14 at 2pm in the Pyon Su Room (Stamp 2108)
