"Jimpa," a queer family drama starring Olivia Colman and John Lithgow, will be the opening film of the 17th Kashish Pride Film Festival held in Mumbai, India this June. The festival will showcase 153 films from 43 countries across three different venues: Liberty Cinema, Alliance Française, and the National Gallery of Modern Art.

Focusing on queer happiness and family ties, "Jimpa" is set to be one of the significant works featured at this year's festival. The film aims to present a profound narrative that explores human relationships and differences within the family. Being selected as the opening film highlights the important place this production holds in queer cinema.

The Kashish Pride Film Festival is known as one of India's most important platforms for LGBTQ+ art and culture. The festival aims to present the works of artists who drive diversity in the film industry and spotlight marginalized stories to global audiences.

The 153 films participating in this year's festival will showcase the diversity and richness of LGBTQ+ representation and narratives in world cinema. "Jimpa," chosen as the opening film, is expected to provide a strong start to the festival.
