IFFK to screen all films despite Centre denying clearance: CM
Hindustan Times Gurugram
|December 17, 2025
The International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) has decided to screen all films as scheduled despite the information and broadcasting ministry denying censor exemption to over a dozen movies charted for screening at the festival, chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan said on Tuesday.
"The Union Government's decision to deny screening permission to films scheduled to be shown at the 30th International Film Festival of Kerala is unacceptable," the CM said in a post on Facebook.
He added: "The censorship imposed at the film festival is a stark example of the authoritarian rule of the Sangh Parivar regime, which seeks to suppress dissenting voices and diverse creative expressions in the country. Enlightened Kerala will not bow to such acts of censorship. All films that were denied screening permission will be screened at the festival."
