Audiences are invited to watch the five films online in solidarity with LGBTIQ+ communities in places where freedom and equal rights are limited and to spread the word using the hashtag #FiveFilmsForFreedom. This year’s short films look at an intersection of LGBTIQ+ perspectives to explore love and acceptance -- self-expression, homophobia in rural communities, coming out as a teenager and finding love later in life. In India, British Council has partnered with The Queer Muslim Project, South Asia’s largest virtual network of queer, Muslim and allied individuals, to celebrate and amplify LGBTIQ+ stories, voices and people.
