Colors of Love - Queer Film Festival (7)

영화제 시작: 21 6월 2025      영화제 끝: 22 6월 2025

Colors of Love - Queer Film Festival is a vibrant LGBTIQ community initiative created by filmmakers to celebrate and curate queer short films, documentaries, animations, music videos, and web series. Our mission is to introduce these stories to new audiences in a fun, engaging, and informative way.

We welcome submissions of any short films, documentaries, animations, music videos, or web series that explore LGBTQ+ themes, regardless of when they were made. Please ensure that you hold all the rights to your film, including music, images, and likenesses used in it.

With the success of last year’s event, we’re thrilled to announce that this year we are expanding the length of eligible films from 20 minutes to 40 minutes. Additionally, we are introducing a brand-new LGBTQ Feature Film category to further showcase diverse and powerful queer stories.

Colors of Love Queer Film Festival become the official part of FilmyBees Cine Club, which manages and hosts the festival and associated programs. The last event took place on 22nd - 23rd June during Pride Month, celebrating the diversity of love in Mumbai, the Bollywood city of India.

​By submitting your film, you grant us permission to screen it in unlimited live screenings throughout the year.

Additionally, we will host an online event at the end of the year, where all selected films will be screened via our online film streaming partners. This is a non-exclusive agreement, meaning you are free to share your film elsewhere.
