Well Well ! How quickly a year passes. However, we really can’t complain because its time for more excitement in the Queer Cinemascape of Chennai with the Chennai Rainbow Film Festival right around the corner.
Last time around, I was just getting my legs in India and it was the first Queer event I’d ever attended in the country even. I had a great time, saw a great movie and met some great folks. Needless to say this time around, I’m psyched.
The details about the Call for Submissions are below:

Last year we have screened more than 45 Indian and International films based on LGBT theme. We had more than 1000 people attended the event including several mainstream artists from film industry.
Chennai Rainbow Film Festival aims to reach a wide spectrum of audience, unshackling the class difference and providing a platform where everyone can come together with pride sans prejudice to celebrate diversity.
The team religiously works to handpick the best of works from around the globe, especially catering to the diverse audience making sure to bring out components that LGBT members, their families, friends, colleagues can relate to.
