Exactly a year ago, we had the privilege of being on the jury of the 6th Kashish Film Festival, South Asia’s biggest queer film festival, and the first Indian LGBT festival to be held with approval by the I&B Ministry, GOI. Held over held over 5 days at three venues with its headquarters at the Mumbai’s landmark Liberty Cinema, it afforded us the opportunity of watching a multitude of films from all over the world and to meet a plethora of people from all walks of life, who supported the LGBTQ cause.
