In another instance of the Information & Broadcasting Ministry preventing the screening of a film, Shawn Sebastian and Fazil NC's short film, In The Shade Of Fallen Chinar, was unceremoniously dropped from the line-up of the government-run Mumbai International Film Festival (MIFF) on January 29. The documentary was denied censor exemption from the I&B Ministry on the basis of the Cinematograph Act, which includes "policy for certification of films for film festivals." The decision has since sparked outrage among the jury of the film festival, who weren't notified of the exclusion, and the makers as well.
