Screening Rights (SRFF)

Shame on ⁦@BBCBreaking⁩ for this wholly misleading headline, giving the impression that Israel is “helping” babies rather than bombing and starving them to death. Yet another example of the BBC’s distorted reporting #ceasefireNOW #FreePalestine

How I wish I could be there in person for this fabulous and important festival! Happy to present an introduction remotely to Payal Kapadia's 2021 documentary on student protests in India. @warwickarts

Delighted to be chairing the panel discussion of the premiere UK screening of ‘Aurora’s Sunrise’ which tells the incredible story of Aurora Mardigian . Playing at @mac_birmingham as part of this year’s @ScreeningRights tomorrow at 2.30pm m.youtube.com/watch?v=HW1XrO…

Grateful to all the Londoners who came out today to protest against the heinous act that took the lives of 20 of my family members and thousands of Gazans. Your support and solidarity mean the world to us. 🙏🇬🇧❤️ #LondonStandsWithPalestine

Philosopher & gender studies scholar Judith Butler calls to end Israel's assault in Gaza. "We should all be standing up and objecting and calling for an end to genocide," says Butler, who recently joined dozens of Jewish writers & artists calling on Biden to demand a ceasefire.

Amsterdam’s @StedelijkMuseum of Modern Art wants to become more diverse and inclusive. But how to go about that? Tomorrow's @ScreeningRights film White Balls On Walls is an honest look behind the scenes... lacuna.org.uk/equality/nine-…

Wonderful to be at the launch of @ScreeningRights this evening, with the brilliant, moving Casa Susanna

IDF says, they bomb precisely Hamas fighter. They say, this terrorists are hiding in tunnels. So, why the IDF destroying houses of ordinary people in residential areas? Do you see any destroyed tunnel? I just see thousands dead kids & civilians. STOP BOMBING GAZA!
