FWICE slams Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid for calling ‘The Kashmir Files’ ‘propaganda, vulgar movie’

Nadav Lapid has faced massive backlash for his controversial comments on ‘The Kashmir Files’.

The Federation of Western India Cine Employees has accused Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid of hurting the &lsquo;sentiments of Indian filmmakers and technicians.&rsquo;

Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid has faced massive backlash for his controversial comments on &lsquo;The Kashmir Files&rsquo; at the closing ceremony of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI). Now, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees has issued a statement condemning his remarks and has accused him of hurting the &lsquo;sentiments of Indian filmmakers and technicians.&rsquo;
The statement from the organisation read, &lsquo;The FWICE strongly condemns the statements of Israeli Filmmaker Nada Lapid and seek immediate unconditional apology from him in writing. We appeal the Director of the Film Festival to oppose the statement of Nadav Lapid. We are surprised to note the silence of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting over the entire controversy. FWICE hereby stands with solidarity in support of all our Film Makers, Producers, Artists and Technicians associated with the Indian Film Industry.&rsquo;
Nadav Lapid stirred controversy when he called &lsquo;The Kashmir Files&rsquo; a &lsquo;propaganda, vulgar movie&rsquo; at the IFFI. He said that apart from him, his fellow jurors were also &lsquo;shocked&rsquo; to see a film like this in the competition section of such a prestigious film festival. &lsquo;The Kashmir Files&rsquo; director Vivek Agnihotri and the film&rsquo;s lead actor Anupam Kher have slammed Nadav for his remarks.

Nadav Lapid, who sparked criticism due to his comments on ‘The Kashmir Files’, has now called the film a ‘brilliant movie’ but maintained that ‘no one can determine what propaganda is’.

Filmmaker Nadav Lapid now calls ‘The Kashmir Files’ ‘brilliant movie’, but sticks to his earlier remark

Nadav Lapid, who sparked criticism due to his comments on &lsquo;The Kashmir Files&rsquo;, has now called&nbsp;the film a &lsquo;brilliant movie&rsquo; but maintained that &lsquo;no one can determine what propaganda is&rsquo;.

Israeli filmmaker and IFFI jury head Nadav Lapid sparked criticism following his comments on &lsquo;The Kashmir Files&rsquo; at the 53rd International Film Festival of India in Goa. He has now addressed his &lsquo;propaganda&rsquo; remark in an interview with India Today TV.
Nadav called &lsquo;The Kashmir Files&rsquo; a &lsquo;brilliant movie&rsquo; but maintained that &lsquo;no one can determine what propaganda is&rsquo;. He said that the uproar over his remarks is &lsquo;cheap manipulation&rsquo; in order to incite people.&rsquo;
&lsquo;No one can be determined what propaganda is. I accept this fact, it&rsquo;s a brilliant movie. There is no specific key to differentiate any film based on propaganda. The most terrible things that have happened in history might give birth to propaganda and to manipulated movies. And I want to make one thing extremely clear, not even for one second have I thought or imagined talking about the tragedy of Kashmir. What I have done or said is my duty to say what I see and it is a very subjective way. I have the right to say what I think and I am not anybody's property that I will seek any validation,&rsquo; he said.
He added that other jury members felt the same way, but fear or anxiety, suddenly changed their statements.&nbsp; Nadav also apologised to the people for his sharp comments about the critically acclaimed film.
&lsquo;I am sorry if people were hurt by my comments. I am an Israeli who has also done military service,&rsquo; he said.

IFFI jury distances itself from Nadav Lapid’s remarks of ‘The Kashmir Files’

&lsquo;We don&rsquo;t indulge in any kind of political comments on any film and if it is done, it is completely in personal capacity &ndash; nothing to do with the esteemed Jury Board&rsquo;, said Sudipto Sen, member of the jury.

Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid sparked a controversy after he termed Vivek Agnihotri&rsquo;s film &lsquo;The Kashmir Files&rsquo; &lsquo;vulgar and propaganda&rsquo; during the closing ceremony of the 53rd International Film Festival of India. However, the jury board of the IFFI has distanced itself from its chief. Sudipto Sen, a member of the jury, has tweeted the board&rsquo;s statement, saying the comments were Nadav&rsquo;s opinions and not a collective opinion of the group.
Sudipto wrote, &lsquo;Whatever has been said by IFFI 2022 Jury Chairman Mr. Nadav Lapid about the film Kashmir Files, from the stage of closing ceremony of 53-rd IFFI was completely his personal opinion. In the official presentation of the Jury Board to the Festival Director and in the official Press Conference, where we 4 juries (the fifth jury had to leave for her personal emergency) were present and interacted with the press, we never mentioned anything about our likes or dislikes. Both were our official collective opinion&rsquo;.
In his note, he added, &lsquo;As juror, we are assigned to judge the technical, aesthetic quality and socio-cultural relevance of a film. We don&rsquo;t indulge in any kind of political comments on any film and if it is done, it is completely in personal capacity &ndash; nothing to do with the esteemed Jury Board&rsquo;.

The Ambassador of Israel to India, Naor Gilon, &lsquo;The Kashmir Files&rsquo; actors Anupam Kher and Ranvir Shorey have criticised Nadav&rsquo;s comments.
&lsquo;The Kashmir Files&rsquo; is one of highest grossing Hindi films of this year. It was made tax-free in several states in India.

Hours after Vivek Agnihotri&rsquo;s film &lsquo;The Kashmir Files&rsquo; was termed &lsquo;vulgar propaganda&rsquo; by the jury head Nadav Lapid at the 53rd International Film Festival of India, the director has shared a cryptic post on Twitter. In his tweet, Vivek didn&rsquo;t refer to the controversy directly but wrote that &lsquo;truth is the most dangerous thing. It can make people lie,&rsquo; along with the hashtag #CreativeConsciousness.

Anupam Kher, the film&rsquo;s lead actor, has called this statement &lsquo;pre-planned&rsquo;.
Speaking with news agency ANI, Anupam said, &lsquo;It seems pre-planned as immediately after that the toolkit gang became active. It&rsquo;s shameful for him to make a statement like this. Jews have suffered Holocaust and he comes from that community. For him to make such a statement, he has also pained those people who have been victims of this tragedy many years ago. May God give him wisdom so that he does not further his agenda on stage using the sufferings of thousands.&rsquo;
&lsquo;The Kashmir Files&rsquo; is based on the targeted killings of Kashmiri Pandits and the subsequent mass exodus of the community from the valley in the early 1990s. It also stars Mithun Chakraborty, Darshan Kumaar, and Pallavi Joshi among others.

The closing ceremony of the 53rd International Film Festival of India courted controversy after jury head Nadav Lapid called 'The Kashmir Files' a 'vulgar propaganda' film. A video of his speech has gone viral on the internet. Now, Anupam Kher, who played a pivotal role in Vivek Agnihotri&rsquo;s film, has reacted to the remarks on Twitter.
The veteran actor tweeted, 'No matter how high the height of lie is. .. It is always small in comparison to truth.' He also shared images from 'The Kashmir Files' and Steven Spielberg's 'Schindler&rsquo;s List'
Speaking with news agency ANI, <a href="https://www.editorji.com/entertainment-news/bollywood/anupam-kher-shares-video-of-vikram-gokhale-reciting-incomplete-poem-1669295466703">Anupam Kher </a>said that Lapid&rsquo;s remark was pre-planned.
Filmmaker Ashok Pandit also slammed Lapid's remarks and said that he takes strong objection to the language used by him. He said that depicting the genocide of 3 lakh Kashmiri Hindus cannot be vulgar. He concluded by saying that he condemns this shameless act of abuse towards victims of terrorism.
Ashok Pandit has also asked Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur to make Nadav &lsquo;tender an apology&rsquo; as he has &lsquo;added salt to our wounds&rsquo;.
Actor Ranvir Shorey also took to Twitter and wrote, &lsquo;the singling out of a film and the language used to describe it is completely unbecoming of a film jury or critic, and it reeks of politics. He said Cinema has always been the harbinger of truth &amp; change, not an agent to stifle or snuff it. Shameful display of political opportunism at #IFFI.&rsquo;
Israel's Consul General to Mumbai Kobbi Shoshani also disagreed with his fellow countryman and filmmaker Lapid. He said that he has watched the film and has a different opinion than Lapid.
