mumbaiqueerfest KASHISH 2011 - Dates & Highlights 0 Apr 5 2011, 12:04 PM EDT by mumbaiqueerfest
Thread started: Apr 5 2011, 12:04 PM EDT  Watch
KASHISH Mumbai International Queer Film Festival 2011, the second edition of India’s only mainstream LGBT film fest, promises to be BIGGER, BOLDER & QUEERER. The second edition will be held from May 25-29, 2011 at two venues in Mumbai, one of which will be a multiplex theater.

This year, the festival will showcase more than 130 films from over 25 countries.

The highlights this year:

- Films from across the globe: from US to UK, Australia to Austria, India to Indonesia and even Argentina and Peru.
- This year, the ‘Country Focus’ will be on Israel with more than 8 films from there.
- ‘Spotlight on Filmmaker’ will shine on a US filmmaker and a UK filmmaker with their funny, sexy and thought provoking films.
- Special package of films on Anti-Bullying and gay bashing in schools followed by a panel discussion.
- Continuing KASHISH’s mission of showcasing and promoting Indian queer shorts and short filmmakers, this year would have a fantastic collection under its ‘Indian Masala Mix’ program.
- A competition section for Best Narrative Feature too, in addition to the other competitive categories: Best Docu Feature, Best Docu Short, Best International Narrative Short and Best Indian Narrative Short.

- The Best Indian queer short film at Kashish gets to compete for the Iris Prize in UK and a cash prize of 25,000 pounds.

KASHISH 2011 promises to be an event to remember for both LGBT and mainstream audiences. It will be a time to watch loads and loads of LGBT films, engage in discussions, interact with celebrities and filmmakers, participate in cultural activities and just simply have a FABULOUS time!

This listing is so useful. Thanks a million to the people at Wolfe for picking up the ball that PlanetOut dropped!

The listing doesn't show the University of Oregon Queer Film Festival. I screened a film there in 2005 (when the festival was in February). The festival seems to be in May now.

I can't find a contact e-mail address, but here is the web site for the 2007 festival:
