The topic of “home” goes beyond the four walls of the household. For queer people, it is often a complex enigma. In an effort to decolonise narrative filmmaking, director Humad Nisar used participatory filmmaking methods and collaborated with various queer participants in Pakistan and the diaspora. The result is an unusual, experimental collage that tries to grasp the complex enigma of what “home” means for Pakistani Queer people. How do they navigate through intimacy and belonging in order to create a feeling of ‘home’ in a country where one’s existence is being illegalized?
