Congress demands Govt releases white paper on IFFI

Congress has urged Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to immediately release a white paper on the overall benefits received by Goa and more particularly the Goan Film Fraternity from the film festive in last 15 years.
GPCC has warned to stage demonstrations in support of Goan film fraternity during forthcoming IFFI-2019, if Konkani movies are not included in the Panorma section.
GPCC spokesperson Swati Kerkar has alleged that the BJP government and the Entertainment Society of Goa has totally surrendered themselves to Information and Broadcasting Ministry and Directorate of Film Festivals.
She said that ESG has completely failed in its responsibilities of fulfilling its own objective and hence the Goan filmmakers are facing challenges on every front.

"The ESG has absolutely no role in decision making of organising IFFI, despite Goa government spending almost Rs 40-50 crores every year on the mega film festival," Kerkar said.
