Private Cannes Screening of Hamas Attack Film Canceled Due to ‘Security Threat’
A screening of 'Bearing Witness' was canceled in Cannes due to a 'security threat,' though sources tell Variety organizers didn't follow protocol.
“About an hour before, we received an order from the [Israeli Defense Forces] not to hold the screening due to a security threat,” WestEnd Films co-founder Maya Amsellem told the outlet.
