Produced by Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal, ‘Girls Will Be Girls’ will be screened at the film gala on April 14
"Girls Will Be Girls", the debut production of actor couple Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal, is heading to the TIFF Next Wave Film Festival, the makers announced on Wednesday.
Set to be held from April 11 to 14, the TIFF Next Wave Festival is an annual event organised by the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and focuses on showcasing films targeted towards youth audiences.
Directed by Shuchi Talati, "Girls Will Be Girls" will be screened at the film gala on April 14, a press release stated.
According to the makers, the film is set in a boarding school in a small Himalayan hill town in northern India. It follows the journey of Mira, a 16-year-old girl, whose rebellious awakening is intertwined with her mother's unfulfilled coming-of-age experiences.
It features Preeti Panagrahi, Kani Kusruti, Jitin Gulati, Preeti Panigrahi, and Kesav Binoy Kiron.
"Girls Will Be Girls" is an Indo-French co-production, a collaboration between Chadha and Fazal's banner Pushing Buttons Studios, and Blink Digital, Crawling Angel Films and Dolce Vita Films.
"'Girls Will Be Girls' is a project that is very close to our hearts, and to witness its journey from conception to being screened at TIFF is truly overwhelming.
