Arundhati pulls out of Berlin Film Fest over Gaza
February 15, 2026
|Gulf Today
Award-winning Indian writer Arundhati Roy said on Friday she was withdrawing from the Berlin Film Festival over jury president Wim Wenders's comments that he wanted to ‘stay out of politics’ after being asked about Gaza.
-
Roy said in a statement sent to media that she was ‘shocked and disgusted’ by Wenders’ response to a question on Gaza at a press conference on Thursday.
‘With deep regret, I must say that I will not be attending the Berlinale,’ she said.
Roy, whose novel ‘The God of Small Things’ won the 1997 Booker Prize, had been announced as a festival guest to present a restored version of the 1989 film ‘In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones’, in which she starred and wrote the screenplay.
However, she said that the ‘unconscionable’ statements by Wenders and other jury members had led her to reconsider.
