Whenever I think about the monumental work of Fred Wiseman in the shadow of America's present, I think above all of this scene from "Belfast, Maine." This one really hurts. youtube.com/watch?v=wt2NZKOo…

A reminder that film festivals like Sundance, Berlin, Cannes, Venice, Toronto, etc. used politics to bolster their identities when the politics were convenient for them. Now, when politics becomes uncomfortable, all they can do is scold and squirm.
The Berlin Film Festival has issued a lengthy statement after backlash over filmmakers not speaking on politics.
"Artists should not be expected to comment on all broader debates about a festival’s previous or current practices over which they have no control. Nor should they be expected to speak on every political issue raised to them unless they want to." variety.com/2026/film/global…

Flashback Friday: In 2009, TIFF tried to launder Tel Aviv’s image under a “spotlight” banner. Artists revolted — John Greyson pulled his film, @NaomiAKlein and @Janefonda spoke out, and 1,000+ signed a letter naming it for what it was: apartheid propaganda.

You should be mad that North America’s largest film festival has decided to program and platform genocide apologia, but you should *also* be mad that the filmmaker was a previous board member of the festival.

time to add @mubi to the BDS list, they are now funded to the tune of 100 million by zionist venture capitalists Sequoia Capital who are actively engaged in military support of the genocide, and some of the investors themselves are settlers on occupied Palestinian land.
