Kerala has proved time and again that it’s not a state that’s going to take the Centre’s diktats lying down - whether it’s the implicit ban on cattle slaughter or the denial of permission for screening films on dissent at the International Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala.

Days after the I&B Ministry denied permission for screening of three films at the festival, the Students’ Federation of India (SFI) has decided to screen two of the three films on at least 150 campuses across the state. The student wing of CPI(M) has declared that the screenings will be held through the week, mainly on Tuesday.
