TIFF Halts ‘Russians at War’ Documentary Screening After Threats to Safety
TIFF has announced plans to halt screenings of the controversial doc recounting Russian soldiers' perspective during their war against Ukraine.
“Effectively immediately, TIFF is forced to pause the upcoming screenings of ‘Russians at War’ on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as we have been made aware of significant threats to festival operations and public safety. Its logline describes it as a “first-person documentary [that] takes us beyond the headlines to join Russian soldiers in Ukraine placing themselves in a battle for reasons that become only more obscure with each grueling day.” However, we have received reports indicating potential activity in the coming days that pose significant risk; given the severity of these concerns, we cannot proceed as planned,” TIFF’s statement continues.
