2 films pulled from festival over Dalai Lama doc

LOS ANGELES (AP) - January 6, 2010

Darryl Macdonald says "City of Life and Death" and "Quick, Quick, Slow" were withdrawn from the 21st annual festival after organizers declined Chinese government representatives' request to cancel screenings of "The Sun Behind the Clouds."

The documentary portrays a year in the life of the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader whom Beijing accuses of seeking Tibetan independence from Chinese rule.
