Entertainment - Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
In the 13th century, a common word for girl, child, or servant came to become serving girls, as in a bar wench, who serves drinks at a tavern. Eventually it came to mean prostitute. And now a racial slur. Thus named Wench Film Festival - created to reclaim the original meaning of the word. We are not the first woman film festival In India and certainly hoping not the last. DATES MARCH 4-6 2022 PHYSICALMARCH 4-14 2022 VIRTUALABOUT EDITION 2Wench Film Festival is India's first Fantastic Film Festival made by women, for women inclusive of BIWOC, LGBTQ+ women, and non-binary filmmakers.
