Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid is at the center of a controversy going on in India these days. His comment on 'The Kashmir Files' at IFFI 2022 has created a furore. Nadav is the jury chief of the 53rd International Film Festival of India.
Essence
The Kashmir Files was selected to premiere at the International Film Festival of India 2022 (IFFI). It was shown on 22 November. On 28 November, IFFI jury president and Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid made a statement and an uproar ensued. Some supported his statement while some opposed it. Actually, while commenting on 'The Kashmir Files', he termed it as obscene and a propaganda film. Also it was not considered suitable for an event like IFFI.
#Breaking: #IFFI Jury says they were “disturbed and shocked” to see #NationalFilmAward winning #KashmirFiles, “a propoganda, vulgar movie” in the competition section of a prestigious festival— organised by the Govt of India.

Vivek Agnihotri has posted a cryptic tweet hours after the jury chief at the ongoing 53rd International Film Festival of India termed his film The Kashmir Files as 'obscene propaganda'. Without mentioning the film or the incident, Vivek tweeted how 'truth can lie to people'. However, many people on social media took it as a direct controversy.
