A challenge considering that academy has only minimal staff: Kamal
The conduct of the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) in multiple locations remains impractical in view of the logistical hurdles in organising it, according to the Kerala State Chalachitra Academy.
The pandemic crisis had triggered the decision to hold the 25th edition of the festival in four districts. “But it is a challenge for the academy considering the fact that it has only minimal staff to carry out the preparations. We have to bring the support systems from one place to another,” said Kamal, chairman of the academy.
Bina Paul, vice chairperson of the academy and artistic director of the IFFK, said it was a difficult task to shift the festival from one location to another. “It was only because of COVID-19 that we had to shift it out of Thiruvananthapuram,” she said.
