Following Up the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival

Last year, Canadian filmmakerJohn Greyson's decision to pull his film from the Toronto International FilmFestival as a protest against TIFF's decision to showcase Israeli films with aspotlight on Tel Aviv, set off a fire-storm of media frenzy and led toworld-wide celebrity support for the protest. It was a turning point for theCanadian cultural boycott of Israel,which has seen a surge of support over the past several months. Just recently,Greyson produced a video calling on Elton John to cancel his June 17 Tel Avivconcert and join the BDS movement for peace. Go to: http://vimeo.com/11584285
