As part of the pre-march celebrations the awesome folks behind the Queer Azaadi Mumbai March (to be held on 16th August) have organized a film program, appropriately titled – Queer Nazaria.
The film program takes us to different parts of the world and attempts to look at the queer individual and the LGTBI community in society and society’s gaze back. Glancing at this reflected image, the question that manifests asks – is it enough that a society only protects us with a set of rights or do we also need the freedom to act as who we are within that society. Legal recognition and human rights are very important but social acceptance is equally, if not more, crucial. These films will extend this essential idea of acceptance to include our sexuality, our gender presentation, our choice of sex work as livelihood, and how we love.
Each film will be followed up with an informal discussion between the makers and the audience.
Date – 31th July 2009
Time – 6.30 pm onwards
Place – Alliance Française de Bombay, 40 Theosophy Hall, Marine Lines, Mumbai 40002.
Films, part of the program are as follows:-

Wish if I cud attend it wearing Harry Potter’s Invisibility Cloak in public rather alone. Equally tempting point is to able to meet like-minded persons in real…some hot and cool babes
… I dunno what I am going to do. It would be so weired to attend it all alone. I am just a 26 year old KID yaar not familiar with the place yet. I can get lost too, needless to mention. 
By the way, do we have to get the bookings done, or it will be done on the spot itself depending on availability?
@ DK – As far I know its a free screening. And no prior booking is required. Its on first come first basis.
As far as hot & cool babes are concerned, well only if you are lucky. Cause from experience I can say the gorgeous ones prefer to stay put in their comforting surroundings.
Anyhoo I plan on going, so we can hook up. At least for company sake.
Thanks MJ. I wouldn’t have asked for more. I am still not sure if I would be able to make it. So,can’t assure my availability. But again thanks for offering your company.
hehehe…one more point. I fall under the category of ‘sadak chaap romeos’ far away from descency and sophistiction
. I really wont fit well in this kind of set up. 
Please share your reviews about the screening. I recently watched “If these Walls could talk 2″.
@ DK – No problem yaar. There’s always a next time. Will surely write about the event. And till then you play naughty
