The Mumbai International Queer Film Festival began in 2010––the first officially recognised LGBT film festival in India and a landmark for South Asian queer culture. Aiming to promote visibility for Indian LGBT communities, to explore complex realities and to celebrate Indian queer life, the festival screens films by new Indian filmmakers alongside the latest queer films from around the world. Festival director Sridhar Rangayan has curated a programme that presents a snapshot of the vibrant queer cinema emerging in India.
