Film ridiculing North Korean leader not shown in Estonia either

BC, Tallinn, 23.12.2014.Print version

Sony's official distributor of films in Estonia, ACME Film, confirmed that the firm "Interview" that ridicules the North Korean leader, will not reach the Estonian cinemas either, LETA/Public Broadcasting reports.

 

As of Monday, the film was removed from upcoming film schedules. ACME Film representative Elna-Eva Terasmäe said that Sony Pictures was the victim of an unprecedented criminal action, in which the employees, customers and the business suffered. Attempts were made to break the spirit and morale – all in order to thwart the movie that the North Korean leadership did not like coming to cinemas.

 

Terasmäe said that ACME Film stands beside the filmmakers and supports their right to freedom of expression.
