In Support of Nadav Lapid , the most important active Jewish Film Director
In his young but prolific career, Nadav has already bagged Golden Bear and Cannes Jury Prizes among others. So when he calls a propaganda film as vulgar propaganda people better listen.
Israeli Ambassador on the other hand is just a right-wing henchman who knows nothing about Films or Film Festivals. If the Film Festival jury will not comment on the films that he is supposed to judge in the competition section, then who will ?
TV Anchors? Or Diplomats? There is an intrinsic difference between Trade Fairs and Film Festivals, Indian Media is yet to understand that.
Films and Film festivals in India is part of Hatred spreading Plans of current right-wing regime. But they made a big mistake thinking all Jewish Intellectuals are like Netanyahu-fanboys. Thankfully Jewish and Israeli spectrum of Intellectuals is much much broad and all can't be painted in same stroke. They asked for Best Israeli Film Director, hoping they are all stupid and islamophobic.
They asked for best Israeli director as jury head and they got it, that was Nadav Lapid.
Lapid's movies are about human emotions, so to say he doesn't understand "Exodus" is childish. But those abusing Lapid in Indian Media, get ready to cry a river when Lapid will win more awards in near future. Even Foreign Film Oscar also.
Lapid makes film based on Personal experiences, just hope he won't make a film on Indian Media or Film Festival. Even then Indian won't understand their mistake or stop their propaganda. After all, Lapid's humanism is Hebrew to them.
