The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement has organized a protest regarding the 74th edition of the San Sebastián International Film Festival. The demonstration is scheduled for September 26 in San Sebastián, Spain, in response to the inclusion of Dana Blankstein Cohen, director of the Sam Spiegel Film and Television School in Jerusalem, as a member of the festival jury.
The movement has formally requested the exclusion of Blankstein Cohen from the event. The protest serves as a continuation of the group's ongoing campaign against the presence of Israeli cultural representatives at international film festivals.
