An important statement regarding the short film ‘An Orange from Jaffa’
I wrote, directed the film and was co-produced by Studio Indeks. The Polish production company signed a co-production contract with a French producer named David Frenkel under the name of Synecdoche Company. I did not sign any contract with the French co-producer as I was working with the Polish company.
This French co-producer is now trying to send the film to Israeli film festivals to whitewash the genocide going on in Gaza, using my name and my film, and is also trying to withdraw the film from pro-Palestinian film festivals.
I ask all film festivals not to contact this person as he is not authorized to screen the film, and the decision rests with the production companies of the film as well as my moral right to distribute the film the way I see as an author, and that is through Gaza Films and Studio Filmowe Indeks, which is also a co-producer of the film.
