IFFK is an open territory for cinema, the festival proliferate richness and diversity of vision, said Tala Hadid. She was speaking at the press conference conducted in connection with IFFK 19th edition. There are very few women film makers in Morocco, mainly because of patriarchal rule. It is really hard for a woman director to come up to the main stream industry. It is all about gender class battle, but women directors always try to break the conventional way of storytelling, she concluded.
The Iranian film maker Narges Abyar also responded to the question on gender discrimination in film industry. Patriarchy is a global problem. It exists in almost all countries. We should think about some solutions regarding this issue. Women are getting empowered. We have woman film festival, which directly encourage women film makers to come forward,’ said Narges. To a query on the politics of her movie she said, “The theme of my film is antiwar and I filmed war in women’s point of view.
‘I am a transient being, I always love to come to India and make movies,’ said Shrihari Sathe, director of the movie, Ek Hazarachi Note (Thousand Rupee Note). I tried to encapsulate rural India even though human emotions are same everywhere. I wanted to make a movie, specific to a region. Unless you are specific you can’t go global, added Sathe.
The producers Shekar Sathe and Vikram Mohinta concertedly opined that producers are same like artist. Senior journalist Meena T Pillai, and Media Co-ordinator Dr. Anchal Krishnakumar were also present.
