Asoka Handagama's "Letter of Fire" draws fire   Message List

Sri Lankan rights group fears ban on film about incest:

http://www.aletteroffire.info/common/news.htm

The protest letter I sent in response:

It should be noted that Mike de Leon's Kisapmata (Blink of an Eye,
1981) dealt with incest and is regarded as one of the Philippines'
greatest films.

The portrayal of incest in a work of art does not imply approval or
endorsement of it. Mr. Asoka Handagama, who I met in New Delhi's 2001
Cinefan Film Festival and whose film This is My Moon I managed to see
and love in Cinemanila, is a wonderful, humane man, and a true artist.
He should be allowed to show his films, whole and unmarred.
