Protests are meant to be disruptive 🫡 #A15Actions #FreePalestine

Disappointed by how few Palestinian titles (one feature, one short) are showing at Hot Docs this year. Next to poetry, filmmaking must be one of the most significant creative tools Palestinians have used to share their struggle with the world. Those films deserve the spotlight.

Berlin police just canceled the entire Palestine Congress. I was the only speaker that successfully finished a speech.

Salman Abu Sitta was cut off after 1 minute. Our livestream ended and electricity cut off.

This is Germany.

It seems the only film to reference Palestine is by a foreign filmmaker, about trans people from Gaza seeking safety in Tel Aviv. Film festivals continue to flatter Israel and pretend no genocide is being committed.

📢 Film in Solidarity with Palestine

How can filmmakers work together to end institutional complicity with occupation and apartheid both within our industry and the world beyond?

This is for anyone in film Open City Documentary Festival Sat 27 April, 3pm Rich Mix

how death is meted out by algorithm: the digits of a phone number, a common nickname, an accuracy rate of 90% deemed “acceptable” — cold calculation isn’t new in warfare but this immense scale of devastation is being carried out in front of our eyes, in Gaza

The clearest proof that our film has had an impact was not on the stages of Berlin or even in the press, but at the screening in At-Tuwani, where residents of Masafer Yatta themselves came to see the film, writes Hamdan Ballal Al-Huraini.

Canadian film industry: hey we too are perfectly capable of writing a long-winded and factually incorrect letter

This $10k paid advertisement claims the Hamilton Jewish Festival was cancelled after the venue was threatened. This is NOT true; the festival has stated explicitly 'at no time did we receive threats of violence.'

It matters that we live in a reality-based society.

Israel deliberately killed the most aid workers in recorded history, the most journalists in recorded history, the most UN staff in recorded history, the most doctors and nurses in recorded history, and the most children, as a proportion of overall deaths, since records began.

PRESS RELEASE: Last night, Columbia University suspended six students, including a Palestinian student & two jewish students with NO due process as part of an investigation into a campus event about Palestine. These students were evicted & given 24 hours to leave their homes.

excellent letter, even if it lacks the star power of someone's orthodontist

Don't Look Away: Messages that were discovered on the walls of Al-Shifa Hospital by civilians prior to being executed by the IOF

On the day Israel bombed a foreign embassy in a third country, it also killed World Central Kitchen humanitarian workers. Israel is crossing every possible red line, still with full impunity.
Sanctions now.
Indictements now.

We are aware of reports that members of the World Central Kitchen team have been killed in an IDF attack while working to support our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza. This is a tragedy. Humanitarian aid workers and civilians should NEVER be a target. EVER.

Wow - £10k in 33 minutes!! 😮❤️🇵🇸

the Oberhausen Film Festival, rather than admit that director Lars Henrik Gass has been targeting pro-Palestinian voices and banning them from the festival, is instead painting itself (himself?) as a victim of cancel culture and rebranding as a bastion of free speech. /
