quote:

"Our festival was supposed to be held in November, but after the war started, I decided to postpone it for two months," relates Meir Fenigstein, the founder and CEO of the Israel Film Festival in Los Angeles, which is one of the leading Israeli cultural events in the world. "But I got a phone call from the owner of one of the two venues where our festival was going to be held. He told me that one of his partners had a problem with the festival. He said she was worried that after the festival a young, pro-Palestinian audience would stop coming to the movie theater, which is in Beverly Hills, and that revenues would suffer. I got frightened, because I'd never heard anything like that. Usually our festival actually spurs audiences to come! I was in a state of shock, I was hurt, I never expected this."

quote:

Everyone who's familiar with the international festival scene agrees that the likelihood of a major festival accepting a few Israeli films – as was the case just three years ago, when the Cannes festival screened five such works – is negligible. "All the big festivals say that if an Israeli film they like arrives, they'll screen it, but in practice it's hardly happening. Everyone prefers to keep their distance from Israeli cinema these days," Elkabetz says. "That includes investments by distributors in Israeli films, which is also impossible to come by today. I doubt that now I'd be able to close five or ten percent of the deals I struck at the beginning of the year. Today there is pretty well zero success in recruiting partners from abroad."

quote:

The BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement and other pro-Palestinian organizations are today working vigorously and effectively in the cultural realm. They are pressuring festival directors not to screen Israeli films, calling on filmmakers to remove works from festivals in which an Israeli film is taking part, and organizing demonstrations and acts of protest at festivals. As a result, even festival directors who aren't anti-Israeli prefer to avoid the headache that's involved in having films from Israel participate.

quote:

Even in the realm of television series, in which Israel has been considered something of a powerhouse in recent years, exclusion is becoming tangible, albeit far more gently. Apple TV decided to postpone indefinitely the broadcast of the third season of "Tehran," which had been scheduled to begin last month, and has also suspended the writing for the fourth season.
"Everything is on hold now, there's no 'yes' and no 'no,'" says "Tehran" producer Shula Spiegel. Netflix, too, isn't hurrying to carry Israeli series with military themes. For example, last September it acquired the rights to "Mishmar Hagvul" ("Border Police"), but to date it still has no broadcast date.
Still, Guy Amar and Hanan Savyon's dramedy series "Bros" (Hebrew title: "Ba'esh Uvamayim" – "Through Fire and Water"), is newly available on Netflix. (It had been due to air in November but its launch was postponed).

A producer who preferred to remain anonymous notes that some in the international community are starting to equivocate with their Israeli colleagues. "We are detecting initial signs of 'polite' reactions, let's call it that," he says. "They're telling us, 'We have time, let's not talk about it now.' I'm also talking both about investments in series and about acquiring property. Today it's harder for us to sell."

Yeah I could quote the whole thing but it'd be half this page and it would all be good

Hell here's more

quote:

"There is a boycott, but it can be divided," says Harris. We have a client who left us because he doesn't want any of his books to be published in Hebrew. There are many young writers in the United States – whose publishers we represent – who are refusing to accept our offers. In the past, they were a handful of cases, but today they are 15 percent or slightly more of the deals we're working on. They are writers of romantic comedy in the main, generally Black or Hispanic, a great many gays. We had a woman author who writes lesbian erotica and wasn't willing to be published in Israel. These are young writers, just starting out. I've never heard of most of them, and they're refusing to sign. We've arrived at a situation in which our partners in other countries are telling us in advance that this one and that one will not sign with Israel. It's also happening to publishers in Israel. There's a trilogy two of whose titles have been published – and the writer informed his publisher in Israel that he's unwilling for the third one to be published [in Hebrew]."

gently caress yeah horny writers

quote:

"The majority understand the complexity of Israel's situation, but no one wants to mess with that and with the backlash. That's what we're being told, without any beating around the bush," relates Dan Basman of the Supernova agency, which manages the singer Liraz Charhi, the band Boom Pam and the musical artist Beatfoot, all of whom perform overseas frequently. "There are concerts," he says, "but it's either huge festivals, which can cope with things or that rely on the audience not exactly knowing where the performers are from. At the start of the war, I thought the situation was truly awful, afterward I became a bit optimistic. But the [March 25] resolution of the United Nations Security Council [calling for a cease-fire] and the U.S. support [by various officials] for a cease-fire generated another change. Public opinion toward us is now worse than it was in November," he says.

quote:

The same group also called for a boycott of two clubs in Berlin, Berghain and About Blank, because they had canceled events of pro-Palestinian groups and had urged others to refrain from boycotting Israel. HÖR, an internet radio station in Berlin, also found itself on the list, because it's owned by Israelis, and artists claimed they had been barred from deejaying there because they wore shirts bearing a depiction of the Palestinian flag. Ravers for Palestine is also running a "strike fund" to provide financial assistance to artists who will boycott those venues.

Maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?



quote:

Israel is now the new star of the global cancel culture. Veteran Israeli filmmaker Avi Nesher relates that it was his bad luck to encounter that dubious state of affairs. "I'm currently involved in a large international project that everyone loves, which has a very striking Israeli element, and I was asked whether it absolutely has to be Israeli," he says. "At first they asked more shyly, then less so. By now it's the norm to say, 'This is not the time.' Personally, I haven't heard 'You're like Russia,' but I was definitely told, 'This is not the time to deal with Israeli content.' Of course, we earned that honorably."
