The #Docaviv film festival is facing a significant backlash as filmmakers worldwide increasingly refuse to screen their work. Artistic director Michal Weits, reports a record number of rejections (50), and a complete halt in international funding for new Israeli productions – even those critical of the occupation and the genocide in Gaza. She expresses regret for the missed chance to engage in dialogue with Israeli counterparts and fears that Israel is placed in same category of countries such as #Russia and #Hungary.
