Los Angeles, Oct 5 Female education activist Malala Yousafzai, who heads her own film and TV production company, Extracurricular Productions, is joining "Joyland", Pakistan's Oscar submission in the international feature category, as an executive producer, reports 'Variety'.The film had its world premiere at Cannes earlier this year where it won the Queer Palm and the jury prize at the festival's Un Certain Regard strand. It subsequently had its North American premiere at Toronto.According to 'Variety', the film is currently playing at both the BFI London Film Festival, where it is competing for the Sutherland Award, which recognises the most original and imaginative directorial debut, and the Busan International Film Festival, where it is in the A Window on Asian Cinema strand.The tale of sexual revolt sees a patriarchal family yearn for the birth of a baby boy to continue the family line, while their youngest son secretly joins an erotic dance theater and falls for an ambitious transsexual starlet.Yousafzai said, quoted by 'Variety', "I am incredibly proud to support a film that proves Pakistani artists are among the best in global cinema. 'Joyland' invites us to open our eyes to the people closest to us a" to see our family members and friends as they are, not colored by our own expectations or societal bias."In 2021, Yousafzai struck a multi-year programming deal with Apple TV+. Written and directed by Saim Sadiq and produced by Apoorva Guru Charan, Sarmad Sultan Khoosat, and Lauren Mann, "Joyland" stars Ali Junejo, Rasti Farooq, Alina Khan, Sarwat Gilani, Sohail Sameer, Salman Peerzada, and Sania Saeed.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
