After the shift in venue, from Liberty Cinema to theatres in Andheri, was announced (Mirror, October3), a few South Mumbai residents who had paid the registration fee, asked for a refund because the festival website listed Liberty as the screening venue.

Said a resident of Cuffe Parade on condition of anonymity, “I registered thinking I'd catch some films at Liberty, like I had last year. I work in South Mumbai too and can't travel to the suburbs. So I have asked them to refund the Rs 1500 I had paid.“

An official mail from festival director, Srinivasan Narayanan, stated: “We will take a final call on Liberty on Tuesday, subject to the theatre getting octroi exemption and Barco willing to despatch the projector at the last minute. All those who want to opt out will be permitted to do so till Thursday, October 9. After this cancellations will not be permitted as we are printing the cards of all those who have registered.“
