സഞ്ചാരം sancharram / the journey (2004) dir. ligy j. pullappally
on the theme of obscure lesbian film: sancharram or the journey (2004)!
its a film in my mother tongue and unfortunately also as far as i know the only lesbian film in it. i believe it’s available on tubi rn!!
i had the biggest crush on kirans for a good year after i first watched it, and im honestly due for a rewatch
Ah! What a lovely film.
I can see where Alice Wu got the inspiration of ‘The Half Of It’ wherein you write romantic letters to your love pretending they’re from a silly boy.
It’s nice to see another happy ending in a lesbian movie! The way they play with the very
May the beautiful dancing princess always be off on a Journey with her poetic warrior.
1. Always listen to the Laughing Old Lady.
2. Leave the cocoon alone.
3. If you’re a boy that’s somehow convinced a dyke to write your love letters for you, don’t go thinking you can write your own subpar poem. Don’t even try, man.
The Journey/Sancharram (2004)
സഞ്ചാരം | THE JOURNEY (2004) dir. Ligy J. Pullappally Beautiful young Kiran falls in love with her lifelong best friend, the effervescent Delilah. But in their idyllic Indian village, tradition still dictates that a girl marry a boy chosen by her family. With longing in her heart, Kiran refrains from expressing her love. However, one day her neighbor Rajan comes to Kiran and asks her to help him compose love letters to Delilah. Thinking this will serve as an outlet for her feelings Kiran agrees, and writes passionate, poetic love letters to Delilah in Rajan’s name. Delilah, however, suspects that Rajan might not be the author, and soon discovers her friend’s secret. Kiran fears that this will end their friendship, but Delilah thrills her by confessing similar feelings, and they somewhat recklessly begin a relationship, but their deep emotion soon becomes obvious to their families.

Sancharram/The Journey (Ligy J. Pullapally, dir., 2004)
OCTOBER 29: The Journey is released (2004)
On this day in 2004, the Malayalam film The Journey (സഞ്ചാരം/Sancharram) was first released in the United States. The Journey was the first film about lesbian identity to come out of India since the 1996’s Fire.
Written and directed by Ligy J. Pullappally, the film follows the story of two girls falling in love in the South Indian state of Kerala. Kiran and Delilah come from a Hindu family and a Catholic family, respectively, but their friendship has managed to last them from childhood into teenage-hood despite the stigma of their rural hometown. When a boy named Rajan realizes he has a crush on Delilah, he asks Kiran to help him write love letters to her. In the process of writing sweet nothings to her closest friend, Kiran discovers that she too has a crush on Delilah.
Although The Journey is often compared to Fire, Pullappally has spoken at length about how important it was for her to depict lesbians living in rural India rather than in the urban centers and how the lack of resources and isolation that comes along with rural living can impact LGBT youth. Upon its release across the American festival circuit, The Journey was awarded several awards and even the Chicago Award for best film. It continues to be praised and replayed today in 2017 for its subtle handling of adolescent sexuality and lesbian identity within Keralan culture.
