The Academy apologizes for his statement for any other land exit attack

On Friday, the Academy of Arts and Film Sciences apologized after hundreds of its members criticized it for not supporting the Oscar -winning award -winning, a Palestinian who was recently detained by Israeli settlers.

The Academy apologized for not “(confession) directly with the master and the film by name,” after nearly 700 voting members, including many actors in the A list, signed a letter criticizing them.

Mr. Ballal is one of the participating managers of the documentary No. Enter Land, who won the Academy Award Earlier this month.

He said earlier this week He was attacked by Israeli settlers Before his arrest by the Israeli army. He was released later.

The academy initially responded to the accident on Wednesday, but did not refer directly to Mr. Ballal, which led to the audit of Hollywood.

The statement led to reprimand from more than 700 voting members at the Academy with a message. Among those who signed: Mark Rovalo, Javier Bardem, Olivia Coleman, Joakin Phoenix, Emma Thompson, Penelope Cruz and Richard Gere. Managers Jonathan Glazer and Ava Duvirnie also signed it.

The letter said: “It is advisable to recognize one of the organization with a film bearing an award in the first week of March, and then fail to defend filmmakers after only a few weeks.”

The message noticed how difficult it was to win the Academy Award and the sharp competition he faced, one to recognize it as a winner of the most prestigious honor in the movie worldwide. She said the film won without the model price campaigns that most films pay to win a prize.

The letter said: “Targeting the ballet is not just an attack on one film director – it is an attack on everyone who dares to participate and tell the uncomfortable facts.”

The Academy issued a statement on Friday, the director was appointed and apologized.

“We regret that we failed directly to Mr. Bali and the film by name,” says the statement. “We are sincerely apologized to Mr. Bali and all the artists who felt the lack of support from our previous statement and they want to make it clear that the academy condemns violence of this kind anywhere in the world.

“We are weakening the suppression of freedom of expression under any circumstances.”

Participated director Yoval Abraham said earlier this week that Mr. Ballal was released one day after being beaten by the settlers and then taken by the soldiers while he was in an ambulance.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) denied this claim. They said that three Palestinians and Israelis were detained on suspicion of “rock ejaculation” in the security forces.

There is no other land – Which chose the best documentary at the Oscars 97 – It follows the battle on Massifer Yata, a society with about 20 villages, and friendship between Adra and Ibrahim.
