KalaKranti 2011: A Festival of Queer South Asian Short Film
Trikone-Chicago is a social, cultural, and activist organization committed to Queer South Asians in the Chicagoland area, and beyond. Each year we celebrate the extraordinary potential of art to engender transformation and inspire possibility; this year we turn to Short Film, a medium of both brevity and profundity. We welcome short films of any genre, by and/or about queer South Asians (on the subcontinent or in the diaspora). Established filmmakers and first-timers, all are welcome! There is no submission fee. The festival will be curated by a committee of Chicago-based artists, activists, and scholars. KalaKranti 2011 is co-presented by Columbia College’s Center for Asian Arts and Media. Questions: kalakranti@trikonechicago.org

KalaKranti is selectively curated, but remains a non-competitive festival. All featured artists are warmly welcomed to attend however Trikone-Chicago cannot fund travel. We will do our best to arrange accommodations with Trikone members if you decide to attend from outside the Chicagoland area. If you decide to attend, we will also host a talkback following the film screenings. Registration and ticketing will open in early May.
