There are a lot of interesting films coming out of Tel Aviv so it seems completely reasonable to highlight them. I don't think a Canadian film festival should be accountable for the military actions of a country that it is screening films from.

During a year that started out with the massacre of some 1,400 Gazan Palestinians, TIFF saw fit to highlight the city of Tel Aviv in its inaugural "City to City" showcase. Abetted by the year old "Brand Israel" campaign orchestrated by the Israeli consulate (with the financial assistance of prominent Canadian zionists), TIFF swept aside criticisms as anti-semitic. Personally, I'm a bit MIFFED at TIFF and support MIFFs stand in their TIFF with China.

POOR THING, they couldn't...on the contrary they made this film more popular by withdrawing 3 of their films not the TEN CONDITIONS OF LOVE...(I GUESS WE SHOULD THANK THEM FOR DOING THAT) but from that you can see the REAL side of the Chinese...they NEVER want the public or the world to know about the UYGHURS....I'm glad just from this film many Australians learnt something about the Uyghurs. HOPE WE CAN GET OUR COUNTRY BACK SOON FROM THE COMMUNIST CHINESE FREEDOM FOR EAST TURKISTAN!!! FREEDOM FOR UYGHUR!!! wow…….I’m, well I must say all the UYGHURS (0r UIGHUR) who are living in other countries (wanting to get their country back from the chinese) were so happy that this documantry was made…..the Chinese tried so hard to withdraw this film from the festival.

I think I failed to grasp what the film maker was trying to do. I look forward to seeing <em>The 10 Conditions of Love</em>. Sounds like an eye opener.
