Colors of Love – Queer Film Festival 2026
Our Story
Born out of love and the need for representation, Colors of Love – Queer Film Festival celebrates queer lives through intimate and powerful cinema. In 2026, we return with our 5th edition—stronger, louder, and more heartfelt.
Colors of Love | Feb 13–15, 2026
The 2026 edition will be a three-day in-person celebration of queer cinema, featuring curated film programs, filmmaker interactions, and community gatherings at an intimate theatre venue in Mumbai.
As a growing festival, Colors of Love brings together filmmakers, cinephiles, students, activists, and members of the LGBTQ+ community in a welcoming, respectful, and creatively charged environment. Each screening is followed by conversation—making the festival not just a showcase, but a shared experience.
