Much like actors who only form the tip of the iceberg in terms of queer-inclusion, make up and look form just one layer of representation. Most cis-het filmmakers fail to delve deeper than that, resulting in lacklustre films with no authentic insight. That’s often because the real way to shape a film is through the filmmaking process which involves direction, screenplay, cinematography, editing and much more. This dearth of inclusion of queer persons in these professions hampers their representation as well. “You know, as queer people, we often live with this ‘gaze’. It’s sometimes curious, sometimes amused, sometimes intrusive, sometimes abusive. It comes very organically to us —this phenomenon of being ‘looked at’, as opposed to ‘being seen’,” Majumdar explains. The documentaries made by her and her team contain this outsiders’ gaze. “It isn’t something a cis-het person would easily notice.”
