Celebrate Pride Month with LGBTQIA indie films

The London Indian Film Festival is celebrating Pride Month with LGBTQIA indie films. Its popular annual short film programme showcases new filmmaking talent returns featuring jaw-dropping dramas and quirky comedy. Screenings are followed by a live panel discussion led by the Gay Indian Network London. And over on BFI Player you can watch a Best of Too Desi Too Queer featuring favourites over the last few years. Sumptuously dressed men,  dancing girls and transvestites galavanting around a mirrored palace, with Indian Gay icon actress Madhubala at its heart, Mughal-e-Azam is a firm favourite with the LGBTQIA+ community so LIFF is putting on a very special screening. You can come dressed inspired by Prince Salim, or Anarkali and enjoy the glamorous photo ops that Ciné Lumieré has to offer. Legendary Lesbian activist Pratibha Parmar is presenting six documentaries on British Asian arts and culture including a rare early interview with award-winning Gay photographer Sunil Gupta. Screenings are split over two days. More information can be found on www.londonindianfilmfestival.co.uk.
