Скачать или смотреть To The Point Debate: Centre Blocks 19 Films Including 'Battleship Potemkin'; Kasthuri Shankar Blames

In this Special Report, the panel discusses the controversy surrounding the 30th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK), where the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting denied screening permission to 19 films. The list includes the 1925 Soviet classic 'Battleship Potemkin' and Palestinian films like 'Palestine 36' (misheard as Felicity 36 in the transcript) and 'Once Upon a Time in Gaza'. Movie trade analyst Girish Wankhede criticises the move, stating, 'The decision of Centre shows that they have not done their homework, their cinema literacy is questionable.' Actor and activist Kasthuri Shankar argues it is a case of a 'misinformed bureaucracy' but also suggests the Kerala government is using the issue for political posturing. Independent journalist Jisha Surya provides context on the unprecedented ban.
