The Kashish Mumbai International Queer Film Festival will screen 27 Indian films -- the highest number since its beginning.
The festival is an annual LGBT event that has been held in Mumbai since the year 2010.
The film festival screens gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer films from India and around the world.
“We are delighted that the quality of filmmaking around LGBTQ issues in India has gathered quite a lot of momentum in the recent years. This year we received more than 60 Indian film submissions, out of which we are screening 27 films, which has been short-listed both for their narrative strength as well as their technical finesse. Four of them are co-productions and two of them are national award winners. So it is a good time for Indian LGBTQ cinema,” said Sridhar Rangayan, festival director.
The films to be screened include Manoj Bajpai starrer Aligarh , and B S Lingadevaru directed I am not he, she… and The Threshold.
