HIGH FUN - Sat, Oct 14, 2023 - 4:45PM | Theater 6
Plagued by depression and loneliness, a desperate young man seeks the one vice that may not solve all his problems but can at least numb or distract him for a while. Set against the background of the death of an Indian film star due to drug overdose and the following moral policing on national news during the peak of covid19 in India, High Fun (commonly known as 'Party and Play' or 'Chemsex' in the west) is a queer-themed horror film about living with your demons.
