@UKinMumbai @arfilaamba @chicray Arfi has sent the details. Thank you so much for your prompt action.

@arfilaamba @rayprodipto @chicray Please check now.

Side note: feels impt. that UK shld host one of India’s v few trans filmmakers 🏳️‍⚧️ to Europe’s largest LGBTQ+ 🎥 fest, but ridiculous if @UKinIndia and Mumbai DHC can’t process a visa in good time despite @BritishCouncil and @BFI support. @CommonsDCMS @alangemmell @arfilaamba

@KatharinaSuckal @chicray @BFI @CommonsDCMS @alangemmell @UKinIndia @FCDOGovUK @arfilaamba @BritishCouncil Thank you Katharina. I really appreciate your kind words.

@chicray @BFI @CommonsDCMS @alangemmell @UKinIndia @FCDOGovUK @arfilaamba @BritishCouncil I don't understand either in particular @rayprodipto is one of the rare #transgender #filmdirectors coming from #Asia

1/2 As a Brit I u/stand visas take time but extraordinary that directors/producers of 🎥 offcly selected for @bfi festivals, invited by @CommonsDCMS institutions, can’t get visas processed in time for 🌎 premieres @alangemmell @UKinIndia @FCDOGovUK @arfilaamba @BritishCouncil

@chicray @UKinIndia @BritishCouncil @BFI @CommonsDCMS @alangemmell @arfilaamba It's a humble request to look into our case as we want to attend the opening of @BFI on 16th and use the opportunity provided by this prestigious platform to represent our labour of love.

@chicray @UKinIndia @BritishCouncil @BFI @CommonsDCMS @alangemmell @arfilaamba Thank you, @chicray. I had called the UK Visa helpline numbers and was told the case cannot be escalated. It would be a huge loss of opportunity if I cannot be there to represent the film and the trans voices from India. My producer, @arfilaamba and I did biometrics on Feb 28.
