Richa Chadha And Ali Fazal’s ‘Girls Will Be Girls’ To Screen At 77th Cannes Film Festival

The debut production of Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal, ‘Girls Will Be Girls,’ is set to be screened at the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival. The film will be shown on May 22nd and 23rd at the Alexandre III Theatre and on May 24th at the Raimu Hall.

‘Girls Will Be Girls’ has garnered significant attention, having premiered at the SXSW Film Festival and winning the Audience Award in the World Dramatic Entry category and the Special Jury Award for Lead Actress Preeti Panigrahi at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.

Richa Chadha expressed her excitement about the film’s inclusion at Cannes: “We are thrilled to see ‘Girls Will Be Girls’ reach the Cannes Film Festival. This project is very close to our hearts, and the recognition it has received so far has been overwhelming. Producing this film has been a labour of love, and to see it resonate with audiences globally is incredibly fulfilling. We believe in the power of stories that challenge and inspire, and ‘Girls Will Be Girls’ does just that. It’s a film that speaks to the complexities of growing up, and we can’t wait for the Cannes audience to experience it.”

Ali Fazal echoed Chadha’s sentiments, stating, “From the very beginning, we knew ‘Girls Will Be Girls’ was a special project. The response at Sundance was beyond our expectations, and now premiering at Cannes is a dream come true. Suchi Talati has crafted a beautiful, poignant story that deserves this platform. We are proud to be part of a film that not only entertains but also sparks important conversations. This is just the beginning, and we are excited for what’s to come.”

‘Girls Will Be Girls’ is produced by Chadha and Fazal’s Pushing Buttons Studios, in collaboration with Blink Digital and Dolce Vita Films. Directed by Shuchi Talati, the film is set in a boarding school in a small Himalayan hill town in northern India and follows the journey of 16-year-old Mira, whose rebellious awakening is intertwined with her mother’s unfulfilled coming-of-age experiences.
