Cannes: Oscar-Winning Muslim Filmmaker Calls for Trump ‘Boycott’ [trunc]

British-Indian filmmaker Asif Kapadia blasted Donald Trump’s proposed temporary ban on Muslim travel to America during a film forum Friday at the Cannes Film Festival.

“Boycott Donald Trump,” Kapadia, who was raised Muslim, said Friday of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee at the 7th annual Winston Baker Film Finance Forum.

“If he was president, I wouldn’t be allowed into the U.S.,” he added, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The Oscar-winning filmmaker behind the 2010 documentary Senna is in Cannes this week to promote his latest documentary, Amy, about the late soul singer Amy Winehouse.

The London-born Kapadia also said the newly elected Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, would similarly be prohibited from entering the United States if Trump’s proposed ban was put in place.

“[There is] an interesting Trump movie to be made. But right now it is a tragedy,” the documentary filmmaker said during the panel. “And I don’t think he needs any more attention.”

In 2011, Kapadia told the Guardian that his Muslim upbringing informs much of his filmmaking process.

If the Muslims really want to show us, they should encourage all of their brethren here to emigrate. Then America would have to try to eke by without their contributions. I hope nobody gives them the idea to do this to us.

I have and used half doses for the shortest amount of time and migrated to aspirin asap. Had I used all of what the VA had prescribed I would have been addicted.
