Wendell Rodricks chooses a poster by Mumbai-based designer for queer film fest
Ace Goan fashion designer Wendell Rodricks has picked a Mumbai-based designer’s poster as the lead creative for the Queer film festival, annually held in the Mumbai.
“The victory sign forming a star is graphic and unforgettable. It is also interesting that the cliched rainbow flag colours have been totally ignored for an artistic backdrop. I loved it,” said Rodricks. Explaining the concept behind the poster, Prachi said that the backdrop was meant to reflect the “colourful waves, which represent a churning of dreams in the ocean of life.”
“The five victory signs reflect diversity,” added Prachi, who works as a senior visualiser, illustrator and animator.
“The theme of Kashish 2013 is reflected very aptly in the design of the poster. The design is vibrant and energetic, and has a thrust forward, which Kashish promises this year with its theme Towards Change. This year, the audience can expect a range of films that push cinematic boundaries and daringly question set notions of queer sub culture,” he said.
The festival will be held in Mumbai May 22-26.
