Renowned Manipuri actor and filmmaker Priyakanta Laishram’s groundbreaking 2015 short film It’s Not My Choice is set to break new ground as it becomes the first Indian short film to be adapted into Thai.

 

This cultural milestone is set to bridge the gap between Indian and Thai cinema, promising to captivate audiences with its powerful message.

 

In 2015, Manipuri actor and filmmaker Priyakanta Laishram created a powerful and thought-provoking short film titled It’s Not My Choice, shedding light on transgender issues. The film not only featured Miss International Queen India 2016, Bishesh Huirem but also gained widespread acclaim and recognition at various film festivals globally.

 

The film became the first short film from northeast India to surpass remarkable milestones by reaching 100,000 and eventually one million views on YouTube in 2017, showcasing its profound impact on audiences.

I've always wondered why there isn't more cultural exchange on LGBTQ issues between Thailand and India. The two regions share the same concepts of homosexuality and transsexuality, and tourism between the two countries is very popular.

Plenty of LGBTQ exchanges on  a daily basis in Thailand.. who need to watch a film on the screen.
