‘Spirit of Ecstasy,’ Sundance Winner ‘Mutt’ to Bookend India’s Kashish LGBTQ+ Film Festival (EXCLUSIVE)


Héléna Klotz's 'Spirit of Ecstasy' will open the 2024 Kashish LGBTQ+ film festival in Mumbai, while Vuk Lungulov-Klotz's 'Mutt' will close it.

“Spirit of Ecstasy,” which debuted at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival, follows a gender-questioning stock-market trader who is determined to make it in the world of finance; not for the glory orwealth, but because it’s leading them on the path to freedom. “Mutt” follows a trans man who goes through an emotional roller-coaster over a 24-hour period in New York City, bumping into their ex-boyfriend, sister and father for the first time after having lost touch with them since his gender transitioning. Rangayan said: “The opening and closing films this year speak of the rapid evolvement of our consciousness around identities, to be mindful of diversity, and to recognize the intersectionalities of gender and sexuality.
