Film Exhibitors’ United Organisation of Kerala (FEUOK) has stated that cinemas affiliated to it will not screen new Malayalam releases from February 23, unless the Kerala Film Producers’ Association (KFPA) agreed not to press for installing new projection systems in tune with the film content mastered at its facility here.
The differences emerged after the KFPA leadership insisted that new releases will be given only in theatres having projection systems capable of screening the content mastered at its unit. It will be an additional burden on the exhibitors, who are already reeling under severe financial crisis, said K. Vijayakumar, president of FEUOK.
