PANJIM: Malayalam film ‘S Durga’ will be screened for the jury of the Indian Panorama section of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) on Monday.
IFFI Panorama jury informed media that IFFI authorities had informed the panel about the screening of censored version to be held on Monday.
“We have been informed that tomorrow we will be seeing the film in the evening. The festival wants to us to view the recently submitted censored version of the film,” one of the jury said.
The controversy-ridden “S Durga” received a U/A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification, along with no cuts and 22 mutes.
Director Sanal Kumar Sasidharan had moved Kerala High Court after the movie was pulled out from the Panorama by the information and broadcasting ministry.
In a relief to the filmmaker, the ministry was ordered by the court to screen the movie at IFFI.
The filmmaker said that they had submitted all the required documentation as demanded by the festival authorities yesterday but is still unsure if the movie would be shown at IFFI.
We had produced the censored version of the movie in 35mm print, along with a copy of the censor certificate, along with two DVD copies to the festival, filmmaker said.
