The New Zealand Palestine Solidarity Network has claimed in a media release that acclaimed film director Jane Campion requested that her 1989 movie “Sweetie” not to be screened at the Jerusalem Film Festival.
J-Wire believes that the film was shown on Thursday and that the festival ends today.
The PSNA congratulated the Oscar-winning director, stating: “This is a moment of pride for Aotearoa New Zealand – similar to the pride felt when New Zealand entertainer Lorde cancelled a scheduled concert in Israel in 2018.”
Other than the PSNA release, J-Wire was unable to find any other report of Miss Campion’s request.
We have requested the writer of the PSNA release to substantiate the story.
