Thrilled to share that Until I Fly was screened at the Giffoni Film Festival in Italy last month! âš Being part of this unique festival designed for children was truly a wonderful experience. The breathtaking views of olive and hazelnut plantations in the charming town of Giffoni, paired with the warm hospitality of the organizers, made it all the more special. đđźđč
Hello, itâs Siddesh and Kanishka, the faces behind âUntil I Flyâ. We are the directors with cameras and a whole lot of heart :)
Our own experiences living as individuals of colour across the continent led us to Veeruâs story and the universal themes it represents. Itâs been a humbling journey and we are excited to share it with all of you! âš

Veeru and Rani.
Rani was Veeruâs partner in crime on all the forest adventures. From chasing cows and sheep that grazed on the crops sown by his mother to spending hours by the riverside.

Veeru for the longest time misspelled his name as âBiruâ.
Hereâs a drawing of Biruâs home and his family members.
From left to right- Vijay (his older brother), Biru, Seema (older sister), Disha (younger sister), the yellow bulb in his house, a pregnant Nisha (oldest sister), his mother holding a stick and his cozy green wooden house.

Meet Veeru. A charismatic, full-of-life boy who lives in an Indian Himalayan village. âUntil I Flyâ is a coming-of-age film that spans over five years. With a heart furled with resilience, Veeru embarks on an adventurous journey of self-discovery, as he navigates a world that rejects his Indian-Nepalese identity.
