A documentary film on Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) fighters has been pulled from the Istanbul Film Festival at the last minute following an intervention by the Turkish culture ministry, organisers and producers said Sunday. The documentary film "Bakur" ("North") was to have been shown Sunday afternoon in Istanbul but the screening would no longer go ahead, the organisers of the film festival said in a statement. The festival organisers said they had received an official letter from the Turkish ministry of culture "reminding" that films produced in Turkey needed an official registration certificate in order to be screened at festivals.
