Delhi International Queer Theatre and Film Festival (DIQTFF) is a brave initiative by Harmless Hugs – one amongst the biggest youth oriented LGBTQ support group in India. The Film Festival is intended to connect with larger Diaspora of Indian LGBTQ struggle for equal human rights, and to reach out to masses via the omnipotence of Media and Cinema. We also have a strong line up of stirring theatre performances and more.
Movie screenings and plays are well complimented by a round of panel discussions and debates, including some of the biggest names from the Indian LGBTQ Movement. We would venture into the tumultuous territories of politics, gender disparity, coming out and involvement of families and more.
With this project, we aim to re-ignite the LGBTQ movement for equal human rights. Along with reclaiming our rights for equality and freedom of expression, with DIQTFF we intend to put the word out that LGBTQ Lives Matter!
Besides, the scope of the project gains further significance as we are planning a number of inclusive and outreach activities. Here, we shall also display the long-standing camaraderie with allies, and also touch on important chapters like coming out, emotional well-being, and most importantly, sensitizing and reaching out to the families and other untouched (perhaps homophobic) strata of the society.
