The Guardian: Turkish film festival scrapped over Daniel Craig gay drama censorship

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/nov/07/turkish-film-festival-daniel-craig-queer-censorship

Mubi denounced the ban as β€œrestricting art and freedom of expression”.

β€œFestivals are breathing spaces that celebrate art and cultural diversity and bring people together. This ban affects not only a film but the meaning and purpose of the entire festival,” it said.

I was prepping my team in advance of tomorrowΒΉ, and it occurs me it might be worthwhile just to point people to a good thread to get a feel for the shitshow expect.

The fash have once again picked a residential area, though there are only two schools this time not three.

I point you to Stu Bensons live tweeting of the activity: https://twitter.com/LeftHandStu/status/1667175435375984641?t=7JaGAA32Kw2qQ9AsE2BL6g&s=19

Of course, because Twitter no longer lets you read threaded things without an account, I will follow this post up with a list of links of every tweet in the thread.

I’m down at Carling and Broadview where @HorizonOttawa and Community Solidarity Ottawa have organized a counterprotest to meet β€œBillboard Chris” and Josh Alexander who have organized a demonstration at the nearby schools.

While planned by the fundamentalists of 😫Save Canada, and transphobic influencer 😫"Billboard" Chris, they are but part of a broader anti-trans push by major media outlets, as well as politicians like Pierre Poilievre, Doug Ford, Stephen Lecce, and 😫Maxime Bernier. This past June, Save Canada and Billboard Chris brought hundreds of transphobic supporters from across Canada to march on schools in an Ottawa suburb. In response, community members rallied twice that number and blocked the bigots in. ➑️ With your help, we can do the same. As multiply marginalized people, we know that communityβ€”not copsβ€”is what keeps us safe. ➑️ From the everyday violence of the police against Black and Indigenous communities, to the brutal encampment clearings at Lamport and Trinity Bellwoods, to the monthly pre-pandemic anti-Islam rallies in Nathan Phillips Square, we see time and again how the police stand on the wrong side of history. We cannot rely on police to protect us from the growing far-right, which wants to legislate us out of existence in the seats of government and terrorize us in the streets. That’s why we’re calling for all our kin, our friends, and our allies to show up at Wallingford and Cassandra on the morning of the 22nd. We encourage community members to bring Pride flags, banners, and any supplies they can easily carry. Keep in mind, though, that the location is far from downtown, there is a possibility of a mobile defence, and you may have to leave anything too heavy behind in a hurry. While we’re doing everything we can to minimize risks to all participants, the reality is that many of our opponents will show up looking to harm trans people and our friends. That means they may be physically aggressive, but also that they may film and try to identify (β€œdox”) our side to target for harassment online.
