The directors of Yintah call out @hotdocs sponsor at their Canadian premiere:

'While we are grateful for the opportunity to show this film, we refuse to allow this venue to whitewash Scotiabank's reputation at home and abroad.'

#Hotdocs24 #NoArmsintheArts

TORONTO: Join us for the #noarmsinthearts festival, a counter program to Hot Docs from April 25 - May 5 including actions, film screenings and talks centering Palestinian liberation and calling on Scotiabank to divest from Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit System.

#NoArmsInTheArts

The 9th night of the #noarmsinthearts festival was always supposed to be an outdoor screening – but as a lovely surprise, the screening found a new home once the encampment sprung up at the University of Toronto. Hundreds in attendance – no amount of rain mattered

Beautiful statement of solidarity from the #hotdocs24 jury

For those who don’t know, #noarmsinthearts is a campaign by culture workers putting pressure on Scotiabank, the single largest foreign shareholder in Elbit Systems, to fully divest – and to resist the bank’s funding of the arts which it uses to obscure its role in the arms trade.
