Riyad Vinci Wadia is a noted Bombay-based filmmaker who has produced and directed what are considered to be the first ever indigenously produced gay films from India, a country in which the act of homosexuality is punishable by life imprisonment, and where over 50 million men are estimated to have sex with other men. BOMgAY uses the often harsh, sometimes lyrical poetry of R. Raj Rao to portray a gay subculture that is fast maturing in cosmopolitan India.

A Mermaid Called Aida is a fascinating documentary that reveals the enigmatic real life story of India's most famous transsexual, the fabulous Aida Banaji. Director Wadia explores the politics of gender and in so doing boldly challenges perceptions of race, culture, and social morality.

Finally, Nathalie Khanna's Gay Bombay looks at this emergence of gay networks in Bombay and questions what it means to be gay in India.
