Years ago, Malini Jeevarathnam would make jokes about those who identified as gay or transgender. This, she says, was before she confronted the truth - that she was queer.
"I used to be attracted to women while growing up, but I never acknowledged it," says the filmmaker. Her main intention, she claims, is to bring focus to the deaths of LGBT persons and their sufferings
Malini notes that her film talks about the problems the LGBTQ community faces and does confront serious issues. However, the point of the teaser, she says, was to "make people feel guilty without hurting them" - by reminding them that they haven't allowed these narratives to be told all these years.
Malini points out that the LGBTQ community is invisible even among the marginalised in society: "If a Dalit person has a problem or if a woman undergoes some kind of violence, it's still possible for them to seek out others like them for help or consolation. But for a lesbian woman, a transgender person or anyone from the LGBTQ community, it's so difficult for us to meet someone like us. We have to leave where we live, get into activism and so on. But it's possible that there was someone like me who died in the next street in my village because she was lesbian and I wouldn't have even come to know of it. Coming out is still so difficult."
She goes on to say that when she came out to her friends and family, they too opened up to her about others they knew who were gay and their own sexuality. A relative who comes from a rural area, Malini says, was very supportive of her because he had a gay friend who'd died.
However, she has chosen not to show any lesbian women (even with blurred faces) other than a married couple from Kolkata in her film.
Malini shares that many women use fake profiles on social media because, ironically, that's the only way they can be honest about who they are and write about what they feel. Many of them have also reached out to her to discuss their problems and feelings.
Therefore, instead of first person narratives, Ladies and Gentlewomen has stories gathered from communities, about same sex love and relationships. The point of the film, Malini says, is not to out anyone without their consent but to encourage people to come out themselves. She further says that she's made a choice not to include the derogatory and humiliating things people say about the LGBTQ community because she wants to be positive in her approach.
Ladies and GentleWomen is an attempt to break the silence in the area of comprehending the dynamics of lesbianism .Probably the first move in Tamil scenario , this Documentary aims to dialogue about the conspicuous silence around the body politics and Relationship which is misspelt as social Stigma. challenging the silence emerged from constant fight against Socially accepted identities. With absolutely no response to the suicidal cases, the Social Rejection of lesbianism leads to the documentary sternly projecting the question to the society .
" Why the hell , do you care about Someone's love When you dont care a speck about someone's suicide?"
This documentary has received Best Documentary awards at the Norway Tamil Film Festival, nominated for an award at the Pune International Queer Film Festival Out & Loud, and received many other accolades around the world.[6] It has been screening at 11 different international film festivals and has won the Best Documentary award at three of them.[14] In India, the movie has been screen at Chennai International Queer Film Festival, Bangalore Queer Film Festival, Hyderabad chapter of Queer Campus Bangalore and received rave reviews in many other cities.[15]
