Kanu Behl (director of Agra) today shared a joint statement from many Indian indie filmmakers about how access to independent films is actively suppressed in India. Great to see them speaking out; the PVR-Inox monopoly has been terrible for distribution, and the OTT platforms aren't much better. 📽️

A Joint Statement from India's Independent Filmmakers

As a collective community of filmmakers, writers, producers and artists working across regions, we urge exhibitors, OTT platforms, policymakers and cultural institutions to address this crisis with structural reforms,” they said.

“This creates a ‘closed-loop’ ecosystem where independent films are asked to ‘prove’ themselves in theatres while simultaneously being denied theatrical access... We are not demanding exceptional treatment. We are demanding fair access to the right for Indian audiences to discover Indian films,”

The coalition outlined five specific requests: guaranteed accessible evening screenings for every independent release, transparent criteria for screen allocation, regular monthly or quarterly indie showcase programming, support from cultural institutions and alternative venues, and streaming acquisition policies independent of theatrical performance metrics.

I nearly adopted two tiny orange kittens last week, abandoned by their mother and needing care. But with upcoming travels, I hesitated, worried I couldn’t give them the attention they deserved. Now, I can’t help but wonder if I made the wrong call. Perhaps I could have found a way to make it work.

You know why it’s so hard to ask for help? Because people expect you to be able to explain how you can be helped and sometimes you don’t know. If I was in an accident, a doctor wouldn’t ask me how they should treat me, or say my injuries were not real until I could explain the treatment I needed.

📍Edward Elliot's Beach, Chennai

Taken at night, the image showcases a vendor grilling corn on a beach. Sparks and flames from the grill light up the dark surroundings. The vendor, dressed in a light-colored full sleeved shirt, stands behind a wooden cart loaded with fresh green corn. To his right, a woman in a sari stands partially visible. The sandy beach extends into the dark, with faint silhouettes of people, fishing boats and distant lights.
