Goa film festival illegally conducted: Dias
NT News Service Margao Nov 7: The president of the Film Producers of Goa, Mr Bonifacio Dias has claimed that the recently held film festival in Goa was �illegal and violated the rules of the Goa State Film Festival Regulation Act�. In a press note issued here, Mr Dias said as per Clause 7 of the Act, it was mandatory to screen at least five films, however, only four were screened. A film-producing agency should be registered under the Society Regulation Act 1860, however, it was found that many of these agencies were not registered, he added. He demanded that the awards presented to the artistes should be withdrawn within a period of seven days and cautioned to appraoch competent authorities, if failed to do so. -- Cheers, Gabe Menezes.
