Kashish Queer Film Festival 2017: On opening night, compelling stories and humour

Kashish will more seriously and primarily be seen as a socially conscious film festival rather than one of the tools for community mobilisation and advocacy

Kashish is a festival not just about the moving image on celluloid, but about advocacy, empowerment and pride; something that over three previous editions, it has worn rather unapologetically on its sleeve.
