“I am delighted to partner with KASHISH, after 13 years of having many of my films screened, being part of panels and supporting the festival as best as possible. It was my Nani - Ismat Chughtai, the liberal feminist writer & filmmaker who gave me my wings to fly. Hence, the idea to institute an award, especially for women filmmakers in her honour seemed like a great match, and I hope this encourages more diversity and representation amongst our filmmakers.”

Ashish Sawhny, grandson of Ismat Chughtai

"With the poster contest at KASHISH 2023 I want to keep the legacy of my beloved partner Wendell Rodricks alive, by recognizing the best in design that is suited to this year’s theme. I am happy to be the Jury to pick the final winner, keeping in mind what Wendell would have liked, and how he would have chosen, but applying a practicality that is totally my own“
