WCC: Vidhu must do more films as we believe it is a political act, says Asha Achy Joseph

The unexpected resignation of state award-winning filmmaker Vidhu Vincent from Women in Cinema Collective has triggered a debate on the allegations of ‘elitism and double standards’ raised by the filmmaker. There has been a demand for an explanation from WCC on the same.
Talking to us exclusively, Asha Achy Joseph, founding member of Women in Cinema Collective, said that resignations happen in every organisation and that it was an internal matter."It is a member's personal decision. It is the same with the filmmaker Vidhu Vincent. WCC chooses not to engage about the topic in public because she is also a woman who is trying to find her space in a male-ominated industry. Vidhu must do more films as we believe it is a political act. WCC follows a no-door policy and we are open to every woman who dreams and wants to make films within or outside the industry. It is a movement that works primarily to achieve equal space and opportunity for women," she explains, adding that words are based on her personal understanding of the organisation's position.
