The Seret Film Festival was launched in 2012 by Odelia Haroush, who accused Picturehouse and Curzon in a Times of London interview of enabling “cancel culture.” Protests have been a constant presence around Palestinian and Israeli cultural events in the UK following October 7, when a Hamas-led attack on Israel saw more than 1100 people killed and 200 taken hostage.
