Abstract
"Only Love Matters" is a groundbreaking romantic drama feature film directed by Kamran Qureshi, with a screenplay by Iannis Aliferis, and produced by Iram Qureshi for KQ Movies Ltd. The film, shot across the UK and the Great Indian Desert, tells the poignant story of an intersex mother, her sacrifices for her adopted daughter, and the broader struggle for the rights of intersex individuals. As the first British fiction feature to authentically portray intersex lead characters, Only Love Matters significantly contributes to the visibility and representation of intersex individuals in visual culture. The film has garnered considerable recognition, participating in multiple international film festivals and winning over 30 awards. Notably, it received the UEA's Engagement Award and was a finalist for the Innovation and Impact Award. The production involved more than 300 collaborators from around the world, including actors, crew, screenwriters, lyricists, music composers, singers, and facilitators, and was filmed across 40 diverse locations. Only Love Matters has played a pivotal role in raising global awareness of intersex issues. The film's team has engaged in numerous public discussions through various media platforms, including BBC One TV, BBC Radio, BBC News, Los Angeles Wire, The Telegraph, New York weekly, London Daily Post, That’s TV UK, Canada One TV, PTV News, podcasts, live TV broadcasts, and digital news outlets, thereby amplifying the conversation around intersex rights and representation.
