Episode 1 kicks off the relaunch of Under the Brown Rainbow with filmmaker Onir — director of the landmark queer love story We Are Faheem and Karun.

In this conversation with host Kashif Harrison, Onir reflects on growing up without the language or representation to name queerness, and why telling our stories — with honesty and heart — can shift culture in unexpected ways. He shares what it meant to screen queer cinema in Kashmir, why audiences didn’t “walk out,” and how film can reach people across borders, generations, and families.

We also talk craft: what makes a story land, how to start creating without waiting for permission, and why you don’t need fancy gear to begin — sometimes an iPhone and a truth is enough.

Under the Brown Rainbow is hosted by Kashif Harrison and produced by Kunal Mirchandani. Presented by Trikone Australia.
