Arundhati Roy (File photos) NEW DELHI: Author Arundhati Roy has announced that she will not attend the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale), where a film she wrote nearly four decades ago is scheduled to be screened in the festival’s Classics section. Roy’s screenplay In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones, written 38 years ago, was selected for screening at Berlinale 2026. In a statement released on Friday, she described the selection as meaningful on a personal level.“In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones, a whimsical film that I wrote 38 years ago, was selected to be screened under the Classics section at the Berlinale 2026. There was something sweet and wonderful about this for me,” she said.However, Roy said she had been grappling with broader political concerns related to Germany’s stance on Palestine, even as she acknowledged the support she has received from German audiences in the past. “Although I have been profoundly disturbed by the positions taken by the German government and various German cultural institutions on Palestine, I have always received political solidarity when I have spoken to German audiences about my views on the genocide in Gaza. This is what made it possible for me to think of attending the screening of Annie at the Berlinale.”Her decision not to attend, she said, followed remarks made by members of the Berlinale jury earlier on Thursday. “This morning, like millions of people across the world, I heard the unconscionable statements made by members of the jury of the Berlin film festival when they were asked to comment about the genocide in Gaza. To hear them say that art should not be political is jaw-dropping. It is a way of shutting down a conversation about a crime against humanity even as it unfolds before us in real time—when artists, writers and filmmakers should be doing everything in their power to stop it.”Roy went on to state her position unequivocally: “Let me say this clearly: what has happened in Gaza, what continues to happen, is a genocide of the Palestinian people…” She also criticized prominent cultural figures for what she sees as their silence. “If the greatest filmmakers and artists of our time cannot stand up and say so, they should know that history will judge them. I am shocked and disgusted.”Concluding her statement, Roy announced her withdrawal from the event: “With deep regret, I must say that I will not be attending the Berlinale.”End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’Symbols Of British Empire’: PM Modi On North & South Block In 1st Address From Seva Teerth’Umar Bhar Yahi Bhool’: Yogi Adityanath Quotes Mirza Ghalib In UP Assembly To Target SP’s RecordBNP Demands Sheikh Hasina’s Extradition From India After Bangladesh Poll WinCongress Demands Union Minister Hardeep Puri Resignation Over Alleged Jeffrey Epstein Links RowPM Modi Speaks To BNP Chief Tarique Rahman, Congratulates On ‘Remarkable’ Bangladesh Poll Win6-Year-Old Dead, 5 Injured As Speeding Car Hits Pedestrians On Busy Lucknow Road; CCTV Shows HorrorKiren Rijiju Explains Why Modi Govt Paused Privilege Notice Against Rahul Gandhi After Dubey’s MoveTarique Rahman’s BNP Heads For Landslide In Bangladesh Election, Rivals Cry FoulPM Modi Unveils Seva Teerth, A New PMO Hub Marking Governance Shift In National Capital DelhiRafale To Be Built In India For The First Time Outside France After DAC Nod For 114 Fighter Jets123Photostories5 national parks in India that are excellent for birdwatchingTop 5 real estate hotspots in Noida to watch in 2026Seva Teerth opens doors: PM Modi launches new PMO complex in New Delhi – see picsAbs don’t equal healthy arteries: Doctor explains why appearance isn’t a health report card5 key features that make adventure bikes perfect for long-distance touring5 ways to remove pesticides from grapes and strawberries, tips for storage, and easy dishesFrom built-in air conditioners to radar ears: 5 animals with the weirdest ears and how they use themValentine’s Day 2026: 7 romantic red cocktails for Valentine’s Day celebrationFrom Titan Arum to Bulbophyllum Phalaenopsis: 7 worst smelling flowers of the worldDid you know Shahid Kapoor was rejected 100 times before his debut in ‘Ishq Vishk’? 6 lesser-known facts about ‘O Romeo’ actor123Hot PicksIT Stocks CrashGold Silver PricesBangladesh Election ResultsTelangana Municipal Elections ResultsIncome Tax CalculatorPublic holidays February 2026Bank Holidays februaryTop TrendingMarvel Rivals Season 6.5 Release dateErika KirkBad BunnyCatherine Polli Net WorthSeahawks Super Bowl paradeKayla NicoleAnthony JoshuaChloe KimCardi BMax Muncy
