Minnie Driver among those who speak out against TIFF boycott
Written by Connie on September 11, 2009
Leading members of the film industry are speaking out against the group that opposes the Toronto International Film Festival’s spotlight on Tel Aviv. Judging films, they say, by their country of origin rather than the quality of the artistic product, is censorship.
“Empowered groups of people, deciding whose stories can, and cannot be told, does nothing but remind us of oppression that has no place in film-making.” Minnie Driver, Actor.

Well said, Minnie.
I will not be boycotting your films.
I will however boycott all artistic
endeavors of the group who signed the
petition opposing TIFF.
