The British Deputy High Commission, Chandigarh, in collaboration with Alliance Française Chandigarh, organised a special screening of Five Films For Freedom on Wednesday at Alliance Française, Sector 36. The event was graced by Caroline Rowett, British Deputy High Commissioner, Chandigarh.

Five Films For Freedom is a global online short film programme celebrating LGBTQIA+ stories, produced by the British Council in partnership with BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival. The screening attracted a diverse audience, including social workers, LGBTQIA+ community members, filmmakers, educationists, and students.

Every year, five LGBTQIA+ themed short films are made available online for free for 12 days during the BFI Flare Festival. This year, Five Films For Freedom runs from 19-30 March, inviting people worldwide to watch and support LGBTQIA+ storytelling.
