Sundar director Vinay Giridhar and manager Amar Sangha have seen their film, Emergence: Out of the Shadows , screened many times, including at the Vancouver International South Asian Film Festival.

一个南亚同性恋组织将会向电影制作人提供逾10,000元的现金奖。

注册慈善团体Sher Vancouver计划于2024年6月在素里的City Centre Library举办首届Sundar Prize and Festival。该组织称,这个奖项和节日「旨在表扬藉著有意义和富信息性的故事,让世界变得美好的动人电影」。「Sundar」一词在梵文解作「美丽」。

虽然Sher Vancouver欢迎任何主题的作品,但也鼓励电影制作人专注于特定议题,例如是人权、移民与难民、社会正义议题、原住民LGBTQ_+社区、有色人种、边缘化群体、环境与气候变化,以及教育。

获评审团选为最佳剧情片的作品将会获得5,000元奖金,而最佳纪录片则会获得2,500元。另外,最佳短片、最佳动画和最佳学生影片可分别获得1,500元、1,000元和500元奖金。

Sundar fest创办人曾参与纪录片《Emergence》的制作

Sher Vancouver创办人Alex (Amar) Sangha是Sundar Festival的经理。身为注册临床社会工作者和注册临床辅导员的他,是温哥华LGBTQ+ 社区的知名成员

Alex在一份声明中表示:「Sher Vancouver希望将全球最佳、最动人和最有影响力的电影带到素里市中心,给予观众视觉娱乐之余更可以让他们从中学习,从而为社区带来改变。」

电影制作人兼视觉艺术家Vinay Giridhar是Sundar Festival的总监。由他执导的纪录片《Emergence: Out of the Shadows》曾在接近50个电影节上映。

电影以Alex、Kayden Bhangu和Jag Nagra三位坦然接受自己LGBTQ+身份的大温地区居民为题材,而Alex更加是该电影的监制。

Pancouver曾在11月对电影作出评价,认为这是一部真诚和不加掩饰的作品。三位主角都能够清晰地表达自己的遭遇,而Jag的父母和Alex的母亲在片中发表的感人言论,更令到他们的故事更加深刻。」

The Society of We Are Canadians Too created Pancouver to foster greater appreciation for underrepresented artistic communities. A rising tide of understanding lifts all of us.

We would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the traditional and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish Nation), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation). With this acknowledgement, we thank the Indigenous peoples who still live on and care for this land.
