Film director Geo Baby has expressed protest against the authorities of Farook College near here for cancelling a film club event on the campus to which he was earlier invited as a guest.
In a video posted on Instagram on Wednesday, Mr. Baby, director of critically acclaimed movies such as The Great Indian Kitchen and Kathal, said he was supposed to attend the event scheduled for December 5. He was invited to deliver a lecture on ‘The subtle politics of present day Malayalam cinema’.
Though Mr. Baby reached Kozhikode in the morning on the said date, the staff coordinator in charge of the film club told him that the event had been cancelled. “Though I asked him what led to the decision, I didn’t get a clear answer. Even posters of the event were released on social media. The staff coordinator also said that he was pained by the decision,” he pointed out.
