Ziv Berkovich A queer film festival in Switzerland has dropped an Israeli film from its lineup after receiving boycott threats from a collective of local groups including a Palestinian film festival.
Everybody’s Perfect, which describes itself as a festival of queer cinema based in Geneva, had initially unveiled Moshe Rosenthal’s “Tell Me Everything” as part of its lineup. The film, which was recently selected as Israel’s submission for the Oscar’s international feature category, follows a 12-year-old boy who discovers a “devastating secret” about his father in the 1980s at the height of the HIV crisis. The film premiered at Sundance earlier this year and last month set a record for most nominations at Israel’s film academy awards.
