Concerned London Jewish community members started a petition on Monday against a possible protest against a screening of a Supernova festival massacre documentary on Thursday, calling on authorities to disallow any rallies outside the theatre.
Attempts at censorship
As part of the Seret International Israeli Film Festival, a private showing of Supernova: The Music Festival Massacre, which follows the experiences and documentation of victims and survivors of the October 7 Massacre, is set to be held at the Phoenix Cinema. The documentary is the only film of the festival being screened at the cinema.
Artists for Palestine UK issued a statement last Tuesday calling on the Phoenix Cinema, Everyman Cinemas Hampstead and Barnet, and JW3 not to host any Seret screenings. The statement was co-signed by Culture Workers Against Genocide, Film Workers For Palestine, South Asians for Palestine, and The Rights Collective.
The anti-Israel activist group claimed that the Picturehouse and Curzon cinemas had refused to host the events, as had Cines Girona in Barcelona.
