Pakistani Saim Sadiq’s feature debut, “Joyland,” the first Pakistani film to be selected in Cannes, received a standing ovation after it premiered in the festival’s Un Certain Regard strand.

The film celebrates ‘transgenedr culture’ in Pakistan and tells the story of a family torn between modernity and tradition in contemporary Lahore.

Videos widely shared on social media showed the film getting a nearly 10-minute-long standing ovation.

“Standing ovation for ‘Joyland,’” actress and screenwriter Rose Harlean said.
