31 films await Centre clearance ahead of Kerala film fest

Thirty-one films set to be screened at the International Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala (IDSFFK) in Thiruvananthapuram are yet to receive clearance from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, just three days ahead of the festival's scheduled start on September 25.

The pending approvals raise concerns about the festival's opening programme. The IDSFFK is a major event showcasing documentary and short films from across India and abroad.
