Gerry Hetherington (VIC) protests to Richard Moore, CEO of the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) 20 July 09 July 20, 2009
Dear Mr Moore,
As a long-standing supporter of MIFF I was disappointed to read a news item today of Israel’s sponsorship of the festival. Accepting sponsorship from a state that persecutes the Palestinian people on a daily basis is misguided. I will not be attending any MIFF events this year for this reason.
I do hope that you will reconsider Israel’s sponsorship of MIFF.
