Palestine Flag Raised at Venice Film Festival Screening of Amos Gitai Film
The 83rd Venice Film Festival saw the premiere of "Journey to Jericho," an Israeli documentary by director Amos Gitai. The film was met with applause and a positive reception from the audience.
However, at the conclusion of the premiere screening, a female audience member raised a Palestinian flag while shouting "Free Palestine." This incident occurred amidst the film's reception.
Further controversy arose during the press conference for the film, where one attendee complained that the festival management had not flown the Palestinian flag at the festival palace. This suggests a broader political undercurrent related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict being present at the event.
