BERLIN: Award-winning Indian writer Arundhati Roy said Friday she was withdrawing from the Berlin Film Festival over jury president Wim Wenders’s comments that he wanted to “stay out of politics” after being asked about Gaza.
Roy said in a statement sent to AFP that she was “shocked and disgusted” by Wenders’ response to a question on Gaza at a press conference on Thursday. “With deep regret, I must say that I will not be attending the Berlinale,” she said.
