印度独立电影制片人Kanu Behl领导的印度独立电影制片人要求进行系统性变革, 因为他的坎纳电影《Agra》在全国仅70个屏幕上只得到最低限度的戏剧版, Indian independent filmmakers, led by Kanu Behl, are demanding systemic change after his Cannes-bound film Agra received a minimal theatrical release on just 70 screens nationwide, sparking a movement among 46 directors who cite widespread barriers in distribution, funding, and screen access. 尽管受到国际的欢迎和观众的强烈兴趣,但独立电影争取获得最佳放映,而OTT平台往往需要先演戏。 Despite international acclaim and strong audience interest, indie films struggle to secure prime screenings, with OTT platforms often requiring theatrical runs first. Rima Das 和 Alankrita Shrivastava 等产业专家和电影制片人强调剧场所有者日益垄断,他们兼而有之地是分销商,支持避免昂贵虚拟印刷费的演播室电影。 Industry experts and filmmakers like Rima Das and Alankrita Shrivastava highlight a growing monopoly by theatre owners who double as distributors, favoring studio films that avoid costly Virtual Print Fees. 缺乏政府的支持——因为电影在信息和广播项下的分类,而不是由于文化方面的限制——赠款和机构的支持。 The lack of government support—due to film’s classification under Information and Broadcasting rather than culture—limits grants and institutional backing. 一个由近100名电影制作者组成的日益壮大的联盟现在计划成立一个正式的倡导团体,推动公平准入、更好的筹资以及恢复国家支持的筛选场所,以确保印度电影界不会将不同的声音边缘化。 A growing coalition of nearly 100 filmmakers now plans to form a formal advocacy group to push for fair access, better funding, and the revival of state-supported screening venues to ensure diverse voices are not marginalized in India’s cinematic landscape.
