It is to be noted that Pedro has been selected as a part of the India Gold category in the 22nd edition of MAMI Mumbai Film Festival which is also being held this month. Natesh further says that international film festivals have created a space for a discourse between filmmakers and their audiences, which he believes is lacking in Indian film festivals. I believe I have done that with Pedro,” he says. They will have to understand what the film is trying to communicate and see how it pushes the boundaries of the medium. Cinephiles, journalists and critics across the country, who have viewed the film, have stated that the film has been dealt with sensitivity. “They should look at the merit of the film, and not simply dismiss it because of the subject. Speaking to TNM, 26-year-old Natesh Hegde who directed Pedro, opines that organisers of film festivals cannot dismiss a film assuming that it would not be appropriate for audiences to watch, but should rather allow audiences to decide.
Nonetheless, the lack of clarification from the organisers’ end, leaves room for ambiguity around the selection criteria and for questions around whether the selection process was influenced by the personal political leanings of the jury members or the organisers of the festival. TNM has reached out to Sunil Puranik for a comment and we await his response. In subsequent media reports, Sunil stated that he was misquoted. The film’s non-inclusion in the 13th edition of BIFFes took a controversial turn when Sunil Puranik, President, Karnataka Chalanachitra Academy told The Hindu on March 1 that the film did not make it to the cut because it handles a “religiously sensitive” topic.
