Chennai Dost is organizing Chennai Rainbow (LGBT) Film Festival Chennai Dost invites Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) themed short-films, documentaries, feature-length films, paintings and photographs based on the theme “Hues of Love" After our successful film festivals in 2012 (partnered with Orinam) and 2013 (partnered with AFM), Chennai Rainbow Film Festival 2015 will continue to be one of the most popular film festivals in India. Last year we have screened more than 45 Indian and International films based on LGBT theme. We had more than 2500 people attended the event including several mainstream artists from film industry. Chennai Rainbow Film Festival aims to reach a wide spectrum of audience, unshackling the class difference and providing a platform where everyone can come together to celebrate diversity.
