Call for Submissions
for the 2nd Bangalore Queer Film Festival
Last day for entries: 30 January 2010
Introduction
Bangalore has hosted film festivals on themes related to lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT or Queer) communities since 2003.
Although they were small events, since their transformation into The
Bangalore Queer Film Festival (BQFF) in April 2009, held at the
Alliance Francaise, the festivals made Bangalore a destination for
international Queer films.
Organisers
BQFF 2010 is organised by Good As You (GAY), SWABHAVA Trust and
We’re Here and Queer (WHAQ!). GAY (www.goodasyou.in) is a support group
(est. 1994) for LGBT people in Bangalore and is one of the oldest
support groups in India. SWABHAVA Trust (est. 1999) is a non-profit,
non-governmental organisation working with LGBT issues, including
providing access to support services in Bangalore. Both GAY and
Swabhava have co-hosted previous queer film festivals in Bangalore.
This year, another group called We’re Here and Queer (WHAQ!), a queer
women’s support group (estd. 2009) is also a co-organiser. GAY and
WHAQ! regularly organise film screenings at their weekly meetings. All
the groups are non-funded and operate entirely on donations.
BQFF 2009
The 1st edition of the Bangalore Queer Film Festival was held in
Bangalore on 10 and 11 April, 2009. The event had a tightly packed
schedule screening more than 20 feature, short and documentary films
alongside panel discussions on being out at the workplace and short
performance pieces using drama, dance, Sufi music and poetry.
BQFF 2010
The 2nd edition of the Bangalore Queer Film Festival will be held in
Bangalore in February 2010. Screening feature, documentary and
experimental films, BQFF 2010 caters to a large Bangalore public

concerning the LGBT community in Bangalore/India will also be organised
as part of the schedule.

Through seven bottles of cursed wine, we follow the journey of Valentina, a beautiful artist living in Berlin. With a sordid history of sexual and physical abuse, and having been caught in the arms of her female lover by her wealthy, overbearing mother, Val is forced to make a choice: to live a "normal" life, or be forever cut off - financially and emotionally.
She concedes to her mother's ultimatum, and pursues a heterosexual relationship to appease her, only to catch her new boyfriend in bed with another man. Her inability to cope with her life triggers her repressed male alter-ego to emerge and take over…

by Sandy Mandelberger, Festival Circuit Editor Friday, June 5-----While June is still celebrated as “gay pride month” in North America, the LGBT (that’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender for you neophytes) film calendar actually has become a year-round phenomenon, making every season a new reason to think pink. In all, there are close to 100 separate LGBT film festivals in the U.S. and Canada. The most well-known take place in such gay meccas as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco...
