Mubi stated that the ban on 'Queer' not only halts the film festival but represents a broader intervention against artistic freedom and expression in Turkey.
The streaming platform expressed its belief that festivals serve as vital forums for celebrating art and cultural diversity, fostering unity among diverse communities.
Citing the government's concerns about the film's 'provocative content,' Mubi pointed out Turkey's history of banning LGBTQ+ narratives and events.
Director Luca Guadagnino's 'Queer,' celebrated at the Venice Film Festival, features a poignant love story highlighting the struggles faced by a gay man.
