SHORT
[NOTE: This short film has been pulled from official selection at Toronto International Film Festival in protest against their Spotlight on Tel Aviv program and in solidarity with the Palestinian call for a boycott against the Israeli government. Read the open letter to TIFF at http://tiny.cc/tiff_open_letter - linked on the right side of this webpage. It will be available online (below) for the duration of the festival.]
Activist and award-winning filmmaker John Greyson returns to the Festival with a witty and inspired experimental documentary about the violent closing of the first Queer Sarajevo Festival. Straddling truth and fiction, the film interweaves the courageous story of the four festival organizers with an apocryphal essay by Susan Sontag – about cover versions of “bird” songs – that pushes the limits of liberal solidarity.
