NEW DELHI: The Film and Television Producers Guild of India
and many of its members have expressed regret over recent
attempts to intervene in screening of films by certain multiplexes
of Gujarat.
In a release, the Guild said: “Given our rich and diverse
tradition it is disturbing to see such a repressive attitude
towards the recently released film ‘Parzania’ by
these authoritarian individuals.”
The release added: “Surely the release of a film cannot
be tantamount to the whims and fancies of certain exhibitors.
Hence the Guild considers it as a sacrilege towards the fundamental
rights of citizens and also considers this as a hindrance on
their creativity.”
The Guild is “positive that artistic independence of
our talented filmmakers will not be curbed nor will free and
fair broadcast be stopped through undemocratic means. The
Guild assures the filmmakers that their interests will always
be safeguarded.”
