00:00Film Festival is a very welcome initiative on part of the government of India as well as the government of
00:06Germany and Kashmir
00:07But you know that here there are two issues of film shootings
00:10That's why Kashmir has a lot of promotion on the international level and domestically
00:16That's why our tourism industry has a lot of progress
00:22Because this is directly connected with the tourism industry
00:25The local stakeholders, especially the tourism stakeholders, who work on the ground
00:30They need to collaborate with their suggestions
00:33And they should have been a part of yesterday's gathering
00:36We have seen non-entities, unfortunately, let me be very blunt about it
00:41And the local stakeholders, artists, line producers, local filmmakers
00:48They have not given their support and they have not taken on board
00:53Which is very disrespectful for all of us
00:56That's the reason, you know, my organization and you know, you'll see local filmmakers also speaking about this
01:02So, I think that if we have been on board, then it will be more peace and it will become
01:09a good level of event
01:10With the result, Kashmir's tourism industry has a lot of benefit
01:14The other tourism groups, do they have not given their support?
01:17No, no, no, not at all
01:19Nobody has been invited, you know, ours is the largest organization, of course, you know
01:23For that matter, other bigger associations like Chamber and the local filmmakers, the line producers
01:29They also have not been invited, unfortunately, because of the reasons best known to them
01:34You know, it's a grave mistake and if we have seen any events, then local stakeholders on board
01:40This is the main role of the tourism industry
01:43We have seen, as has been the practice in the past
01:46It was the first to talk about these events in local stakeholders, as well as tourism stakeholders
01:52Then, such events were made successful here
01:55I think that all the money is getting paid, it's worth quite a lot of money
02:00And I will not tell you about the camera
02:02How much money is being paid at the film festival
02:06They are not giving a lot of output or not giving them
02:12Their customers want to invite their artists to receive their Ashanti
02:29I don't think there will be a big benefit for tourism or the film industry, which is Kashmir's
02:35of Kashmir's.
02:35If there is such a big budget for this film festival, then who will it be?
02:39Just for banners and standees, and for all India, banners, hoardings, and this is for
02:46this.
02:46The point is that Kashmiri artist, Kashmiri filmmaker, what will it get from Kashmir?
02:53Or do you think there will be tourism, the film industry will boost the Kashmir industry
02:58in Kashmir?
02:59I don't think there will be a lot of festivals here, there were 5-5-10 films in Kashmiri
03:07or Jammu filmmakers.
03:09I don't know what they have done, how they have been doing the process of curating the
03:15film festival, and what has been their aim.
03:19What is their purpose for the film festival?
03:21It's not clear to me.
03:22It means that their coordination is very bad.
03:25You won't believe that I have 30-40 messages and calls, even now.
03:31We are not leaving the gate, we have registered, we have how to come, where the film will be,
03:37where the film will be, when the film will be.
03:38I don't want to be involved with this film festival.
03:41I am not part of this film festival.
04:12But they have my number only.
04:14I have the idea of the film festival.
04:15I have the idea of the film festival and I'm not who I am.
04:17So they have the idea of our band.
04:21That means that people are more connected with me, but the government is away from me.
04:24what will happen to them, but there is a general crowd,
04:29there is something else to invite,
04:31but there is something else to invite.
