South Asia’s biggest queer film festival, KASHISH Mumbai International Queer Film Festival entered its 7th edition by launching the first look of the poster ‘7 shades of Love’ in Mumbai today. Renowned fashion designer Wendell Rodricks and popular actress Simone Singh unveiled the poster and announced Ajoy Das as the contest winner.
Wendell Rodricks spoke about the poster and said, “This year’s KASHISH poster design winner is a representation of the state of mind of the KASHISH Queer Film Festival 2016. Not only is the message calm & clear that we have arrived, but the thought process behind the film reel representation and the seven shades of love encircling us all, makes a compelling statement. The most poignant part of the design is the message that everyone is free to love who they wish to love. I wish the winner of the KASHISH Poster 2016, and the festival well deserved success in a year that may change LGBT rights for Indians in a path breaking way.”
Excited about winning the poster contest, Ajoy said, “It was a personal challenge to design a film festival poster for a very special community. It means a lot to win this prestigious award since the competition is of international level. It gives me great personal satisfaction to contribute to the cause of LGBT community.”
