Décevant et étonnant cette censure de la part M. Lisnard et d'autant plus étonnant que le film a déjà été projeté à #Cannes #gaza

Rappelons au passage que la photojournaliste Fatima Hassouna a été assassinée avec dix membres de sa famille par l’armée israélienne, le 16 avril 2025, précisément après que le film qui lui est consacré ait été sélectionné dans le cadre d’une des sélections parallèles au festival de Cannes 2025.
Mais. Quel rapport ?
A Cannes, une projection sur Gaza annulée après des critiques du maire, David Lisnard

Le diffusion du documentaire «Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk», prévue jeudi, sera reportée à une date ultérieure. La municipalité regrettant que la date coïncide avec la commémoration des attentats de 2015.

PUT YOUR SOUL ON YOUR HAND AND WALK is an astonishing documentary, not least because it is video calls filmed on another phone. Its main participant, Fatima Hassouna, died in an Israeli airstrike the day after the film was accepted to Cannes. I urge you to see it.

Hey Belfast - tomorrow I will be conducting a Q&A with Ben Wheatley after the Irish premiere of his ramshackle, handmade, brain-twisting, zero-budget new movie BULK.
Ben may also have copies of the fanzine he created about BULK if you're lucky.
