Why QueerFrames?
India’s $61B screen industry reflects South Asia’s creative boom – yet queer storytellers remain excluded, facing systemic barriers to funding and mentorship. With increasing global recognition and expanding audiences, investing in queer South Asian cinema is both timely and strategic.
Now in its third year, the QueerFrames Screenwriting Lab is redefining queer storytelling in film and TV. Rooted in community, collaboration, and world-building, it champions intersectional South Asian narratives that centre joy and reflect the depth of queer life – beyond stereotypes.
The Lab connects emerging writer-directors with top industry mentors, offering guidance on craft, storytelling, and navigating careers in film to amplify bold new voices globally.
