This Place follows the emerging love between two young women whose connection is shaped — and complicated — by the histories their families carry. Set against the legacies of loss, migration, and displacement, the film explores identity, belonging, and the courage it takes to love across cultural lines.

In this Queer Conversation, LOTL speaks with writer‑director V. T. Nayani and editor Maureen Grant about crafting this intimate feature, the collaborative process behind the film’s emotional rhythm, and the importance of telling queer stories rooted in diaspora experiences. They discuss how the film weaves together themes of family, culture, and queer identity to create a story that resonates deeply with audiences.

This Place screens in Australia as part of Queer Screen and WorldPride:
Sat, Feb 25 — 4:15pm  
Dendy Cinema Newtown
