Selkie is a visually sumptuous short film which explores issues of identity and belonging through visual and oral storytelling. The story is a new piece of writing and storytelling by Niall Moorjani, directed and edited by India Moorjani.

The film follows the titular "Selkie" on their journey to finding a fluid sense of self in a seemingly binary world. The two mediums of visual and audio-storytelling combine to transport the viewer on a gorgeous, at times meditative, but also emotional journey across semi-mythicised Scottish spaces; from sea to land, bay to glen and sand to snow. At its core the Selkie is a queer exploration of complex liminal identities surrounding race and gender. It is the two Moorjani siblings first collaboration for Fringe of Colour Films.
