LARZISH, 2nd INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL OF SEXUALITY AND GENDER PLURALITY, INDIA, 2004
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Outline
We are very happy to be OUT and about with Larzish II after the spectacular success the festival was last year, which was it's first. The journey of Larzish only began with the three day festival in Bombay which was interspersed with performances and panel discusions on Gender, Sexuality and what it means to be Queer in India in the times we live in.
Since the festival is one of its kind in India, the best of larzish in it's first year has travelled extensively to different festivals in Delhi, Pune, World Social Forum and now to Queer Zagreb in Croatia.
Larzish like last year is planned as a free public event in keeping with our belief that art should be accessible to everyone. As you read these lines, know that you are also part of the process that is Larzish: The tremors of a revolution.
What are we looking for?
The films and videos we are looking for should primarily address sexuality and gender issues. They could be made in any genre, i.e. feature length, fiction, shorts, experimental, documentary, animation or mixed media presentations.
Our agenda is to primarily create a forum for showcasing works emerging from South-East Asia, Middle East, Africa, Latin America as well as other parts of the world.
This festival is a political tool to generate more visibility, facilitate a public discourse and celebrate our various existences while complimenting already existing and on going work within the queer movement in India.
This festival is a not for profit event. Our funds enable us to manage only the infrastructure and administrative costs for organising the festival. For the same reasons we are unable to pay any screening fees to the filmmakers but do take care of the one way return of master copies by courier.
Regards,
Tejal & Natasha
On behalf of Larzish
