The Busan International Film Festival, which is to run from October 6 to 15, is still not out of the storm that it ran into a couple of years ago. The Korean Film Groups’ Emergency Committee for Defending Busan International Film Festival’s Independence -- a union of nine major movie industry organisations in the country -- announced on August 1 that it would not lift the ban. The Busan festival now stands at the perilous crossroads of doom and shine. There are only two copies of this now -- with the British Film Institute and in the US. It was only in 2010, long after Ray was gone, that Sikkim got screening rights.
