She organised the screening of an anti-Zionist film. Then Emerson College fired her | Middle East Eye (2025-04-09)
Anna Feder, “The longtime head of a film series at #Emerson College in Boston, … is suing the institution for firing her last year, … after she screened a film critical of Israel.”
“The documentary in question is 2023’s Israelism,…”
“Feder picked their film [#Israelism] …, for a scheduled screening in November 2023”
“But not long after she announced the programme in August of that year, … a faculty member emailed her to dissuade her from showing the film, calling it biased.“
“Then October came around, and everything ‘shifted dramatically’”
“The climate forced her to push the screening to February 2024”
“By mid-August 2024, she was told that the Bright Lights Cinema Series had been cancelled due to budget constraints and that she was being let go.”
