Palestinian Flag Raised at Venice Film Festival Screening of Amos Gitai Film
During the premiere of Israeli director Amos Gitai's documentary "A Tram in Jerusalem" at the 83rd Venice Film Festival, a Palestinian flag was unfurled in the theater after the screening concluded. The film's premiere was met with audience support and applause.
Following the applause, an attendee raised the Palestinian flag, accompanied by shouts of "Free Palestine!" This act marked a notable political moment within the film-centric event.
The issue of the Palestinian flag was also raised during the post-screening press conference, where one participant expressed dissatisfaction with the festival organizers for not displaying the Palestinian flag at the festival palace.
Gitai's film focuses on Jerusalem and its inhabitants, and its screening was part of the festival's program. The flag incident occurred after the film's premiere and did not impact the screening itself.
