‘Girls Will Be Girls’, a film by actors and debut producers Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha will have its premiere at the 40th edition of the Sundance Film Festival 2024 which is to be held from January 18- 28 in Park City, Utah.
The film written and directed by debutant Shuchi Talati has been selected to participate in the world cinema dramatic competition. Malayalam actor Kani Kusruti is part of the main cast of the film which marks the debut of actors Preeti Panigrahi and Kesav Binoy Kiron, who also have lead roles.
The film is an Indo-French co-production by India's Pushing Buttons Studios, founded by the actors, along with co-producers Blink Digital, Cinema Inutile, and Arte Cofinova, with support from the CNC (Aide aux Cinémas du Monde), the Sørfond through Norwegian co-producing partner Hummelfilm, and ARRI.
According to the makers the film unfolds within the walls of an elite boarding school nestled in a small Himalayan hill town in northern India. The narrative revolves around Mira, a 16-year-old girl, whose journey of self-discovery and rebellion is intertwined with her mother's own unfulfilled coming-of-age experience.
Speaking about the development, actress and producer Richa Chadha said, “Girls Will Be Girls is not just a film; it's an emotional journey, a poignant narrative that reflects the struggles and triumphs of womanhood.”
“Collaborating with Blink Digital and bringing this story to Sundance is a testament to the power of storytelling and the importance of diverse voices in cinema. We are thrilled to unveil our creation to the world at such a prestigious platform,” she added.
The film has already garnered attention and accolades, having been part of the Berlinale Talents Project Market in 2022. The Sundance Film Festival is an annual film festival organised by the Sundance Institute. It is the largest independent film festival in the United States.
