Utsav – Celebration or Festival

We have started this LGBTQ+ & Independent Film Festival for cinema lovers. This film festival will be a celebration of creativity and ideas. After a successful completion of the first edition of the festival, we are now ready for the second edition.

LGBTQ+ cinema globally as well as in India has become an important part of the film industry. OTT platforms have increased the reach of these films to a larger audience. Of course, these avenues are mostly for mainstream cinema and filmmakers. There are a lot of independent film makers who also have interesting stories to present.

The Christian Film Showcase is an audiovisual exhibition space dedicated to the presentation of short films and feature films with Christian themes, whose main purpose is to exalt the name of Jesus Christ and spread the message of the Gospel through the language of cinema.

More than a competitive festival, this showcase was born as a spiritual and artistic gathering, where cinema becomes a means to proclaim the faith, share testimonies, and reflect on the life and teachings of Jesus.

We believe in cinema as a powerful tool for evangelization, formation, and communion.
