Bravo!
Queer Film Festivals are opportunities for all people - to enrich their sensitivity to people of all sexual orientations and this...thru the medium of film - the impact is strong.
We NEED to take it further into our daily lives and affect the people with whom we live, work and play. Thanks to the organizers.
Thanks Ivan
Thanks John for your very encouraging words.

enquiry
can I submit my film now?
needed and much awaited
This is fantastic... Mumbai definitely needs a queer festival...
I think the last one was about 7 years ago. Can't believe Mumbai with so many queers didn't have one till date! Cheers to Solaris and Bombay Dost for making this happen. Viva Kashish!
