Nadav Lapid withdrew from FID Marseille after ~10 filmmakers pulled their films to protest his participation - because his film *Yes* took funding from the Israel Film Fund. Lapid opposes Netanyahu, calls Gaza a genocide, lives in exile in France since 2021, and has long supported sanctions on Israel. Protesters: "nuance has been crushed." Lapid warns the boycott campaign backfires - festivals preemptively avoid certain voices, debate stops, "everyone withdraws into silence."
