GFEST artistic director Niranjan Kamatkar is excited about presenting the festival in this new format.
He said: “After 10 successful years of GFEST, we are opening up the programme. The new GFEST format enables other artists, groups to organise their own LGBT+ arts events and promote them via the GFEST website. This is just the start for the new GFEST and we have some more plans for the future. We plan to make it more interactive and far-reaching by using the online tools.”
Organisers are inviting audiences to engage with the festival by booking the GFEST 2018 Launch event, featuring a spirited star-studded soiree by performers of The Cocoa Butter Club, artists Alice Boland-Rhodes, Charan Singh, dancer Sanjay Shetty, digital artist Katy Jalili, acapella act TStarNay, and many more… It is billed as an absolutely “unmissable and MUST” evening full of LGBT+ arts, videos, music, performers, spoken word and live acts.
