I can have protests, file complaints, go to court. With this new loan, filmmakers’ freedom and film revenue will be affected.

Already the governing body has the greatest power in producing art. With this kind of law, there will be only one issue that supports the government. You can be a pro-government filmmaker or not speak at all. “
