SAN DIEGO WOMEN'S FILM FESTIVAL REVERSES BAN ON ISRAELI FILMS

San Diego Festival Reverses Ban on Israeli Films (AJC)
The San Diego Women Film Foundation and Festival issued an apology about banning Israeli films. The apology came after AJC’s San Diego and Orange County Chapters protested the exclusion of Israeli films from the annual festival, which opens October 4. “We are pleased that the Film Foundation recognized the festival director's errant behavior and has moved expeditiously to correct the injustice of excluding Israeli filmmakers,” said Tad Seth Parzen, president of AJC’s San Diego Chapter. The Film Foundation’s apology was posted on its website, www.sdwff.org.
