KASHISH 2023 Overview

 KASHISH 2023, the 14th edition of KASHISH Mumbai International Queer Film Festival, South Asia’s biggest LGBTQIA+ film festival, was held as a hybrid edition, with physical screenings at Liberty Cinema & Alliance Française de Bombay from June 7-11th 2023 and online screenings from June 16–25th 2023.

 We are happy to state that the KASHISH 2023 event was the most successful edition of KASHISH till date, in every way - with a good attendance, and engagement from people across the world.

 The LGBTQIA+ diversity in the programming of films, the panel discussions and opening & closing ceremonies were appreciated by everyone.

 The in-person and online edition of the festival spanning almost a month-long event celebrating June Pride Month, was a good strategy in terms of press and social media.

 The online festival was an extension of the physical festival, with most of the films from the physical festival playing online too, with additional films being screened online too.
