In the wake of the war between Israel and Hamas, the Boston Palestine Film Festival is putting live screenings on hold until 2024. The festival's director of programming, Michael Maria, says the decision was made due to sensitivity and security concerns.

Another reason for the change: Organizers also have safety concerns. Maria said the Museum of Fine Arts, the Coolidge Corner Theater and MassArt — which would have hosted screenings — have faced “a lot of pressure and backlash” that would have required additional security measures if they moved forward with in-person events.
What’s next: Maria says they’re planning to reschedule the live screenings and that their festival partners have “made it clear they’ll be with us” when that time comes. He hopes it will be sometime in 2024. “It’s just not a time for us to be able to celebrate when there’s so much trauma taking place,” Maria added.
His comments came on the second day of a visit by Department of Homeland Security officials — at the suggestion of Auchincloss — to see how the state’s shelter system was coping with the influx. Auchincloss toldthat we should get a better sense of the Biden administration’s stance on providing the state more support within a few weeks of the completed visit.
