NEW DELHI: After sparking a political row with his comments criticising 'The Kashmir Files' as a "propaganda" film, Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid has said he stands by everything he said because "in countries that are increasingly losing the ability to speak the truth, someone needs to speak up".
At the closing ceremony of the 53rd edition of Iffi this week, Lapid had said that he and his fellow jurors were "disturbed and shocked" by the inclusion of 'The Kashmir Files' in the artistic competition segment of the film festival since it was "a propaganda, vulgar movie".
