一 | The Livingston Public Library hosted a special community event, honouring filmmaker, author and LGBTQ+ activist Onir (Anirban Dhar). The organisation celebrated his contributions to cinema and social change.
The evening was marked by a memorable moment when Livingston Mayor Ed Meinhardt and Council Member Ketan Bhuptani presented Onir with an official Township Citation. They recognised his work in promoting visibility, equality and compassion through films.At the event, Mayor Meinhardt praised Onir as "a true trailblazer whose courage and creativity have inspired audiences around the world." He added that "it is an honour for Livingston to host a visionary who reminds us that humanity shines brightest when it celebrates diversity."The event opened with remarks by Shashank Singh, founder of Indians in Livingston (IIL) and Bakstage.AI. He said, "Onir’s films have touched countless lives and his storytelling continues to bridge cultures and conversations around the world." This Award comes to Onir after being conferred the Icon Award at the International South Asian Film Festival, Canada for consistently creating cinema that "pushes boundaries, highlights underrepresented voices, and sparks dialogue around issues often left outside the mainstream."
Onir's latest release includes the movie We Are Faheem and Karun. The movie has already been screened in several film festivals, including the Dharamshala International Film Festival. During an exclusive interview with Filmfare, Onir had opened up about the response he received at several film festivals. "For me, the first international screening was at BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival, which is one of the largest queer film festivals. Within the first two days, both the shows were totally sold out. It was really overwhelming. There's a lot of love that I found from the audience," he noted.Also Read: Filmmaker Onir Honoured With The Icon Award at ISAFF Red Carpet Gala in Vancouver。 ミラノ・コルティナ五輪のフィギュアスケート・ペアで金メダルを獲得した「りくりゅう」こと三浦璃来・木原龍一組(木下グループ)が23日、自身のSNSを更新した。木原に投げられた三浦が、偶然にも五輪の輪の上に乗っているように見える瞬間の写真。大バズリ中の“奇跡の1枚”は、海外ファンにも反響が広がっている。【画像】「完璧ね!」 4年前の“再現以上”に成功したりくりゅうの1枚 写真は、選手村の五輪モニュメントの前で撮影された。木原に投げられた三浦が宙で大開脚。
