KASHISH SHORTS 2010 FILM PACKAGE

Kashish 2010 – Mumbai International Queer Film Festival 2010 turned out to be a milestone event in LGBT movement in India.

One of the missions of the festival was to discover small budget independent films, short films, documentaries and student films from India with a queer focus and provide them with a platform to reach wider audiences. The festival showcased 20 Indian films, second highest from any country at the festival.

We are attempting now to take a segment of these films beyond the film festival in Mumbai. We would like to collaborate with other international film festivals to showcase these wonderful films to a global audience.

KASHISH SHORTS is a specially curated package of 8 Indian queer short films which were screened at KASHISH 2010. This package of four docu short and four fiction shorts showcase the diversity of Indian queer experience and expression in contemporary times.

We hope that these films that explore the diverse realities, deep complexities, joys and sorrows of the Indian queer experience will celebrate, reclaim, explain, and entertain audiences across the world.
