Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan is pleased to bring you again this year the
Reel Desires, a three-day series of feature films, shorts, and documentaries showcasing sexuality and gender diversity issues.
This year’s festival is the first after the Supreme Court of India decriminalised same-gender relations, in the landmark Navtej Singh Johar verdict. This has led to a huge number of submissions from India.
Films at Reel Desires explore intersections among gender/sexuality movements with other struggles for social justice, and those that reflect the universality and specificity of LGBTIQA+ lives across space and time.
The film festival is being held in association with
Orinam, a local collective that has been working since 2003 to end gender- and sexuality- based discrimination and provide social and support spaces for the LGBTIQA+ communities in Chennai. Co-organizing the event are several community groups and NGOs.
Shorts from
Berlinale and India’s Public Service Broadcasting Trust will be among the highlights of the 2019 festival. Besides films, Reel Desires will also feature performances and a panel discussion.
Reel Desires is a reminder of our common humanity that transcends boundaries of sexuality, gender identity and culture.
