Why do European cultural institutions find the calls of refusal by Palestinian artists and their supporters so problematic? Why are the oppressed forced to justify using boycott—their only peaceful means of protest—to be heard? How can boycotts be implemented as  legitimate state policy (e.g., against Russia, Iran, or South Africa) but simultaneously condemned as censorship and discrimination when employed by Palestinians? Furthermore, how is boycott  a crucial political and ethical action in countering  genocide and imperialist domination?

The panel is proposed and moderated by La Palestine sauvera le cinéma, a collective of filmworkers committed to the cultural boycott.

Speakers: Aïda Kaadan, Eyal Sivan, and members of the collective La Palestine sauvera le cinéma.
