The Sundar Prize Film Festival: Where Cinema Meets Social Change
Our vision is a world where film is a powerful tool for social change, where diverse communities and causes are represented and celebrated, and where impactful storytelling inspires action towards a more just and equitable society. The film festival is part of SHER PRIDE, a registered charity founded in 2008, which seeks to protect and support LGBTQ+ communities who experience disproportionate levels of discrimination, stigma and barriers to support. The work extends to all human rights by ending all forms of exclusion, discrimination, and prejudice, while educating, empowering, and connecting.
