Nobel Prize winner and former Costa Rican President #Oscar #Arias said on Tuesday that
👉the U.S. has revoked his visa to enter the country,
weeks after he criticized U.S. President Donald Trump on social media
saying he was behaving like "a Roman emperor."

Arias, 84, was president between 1986 and 1990 and again between 2006 and 2010.

A self-declared pacifist, he won the 1987 Nobel Peace Prize for his role in brokering peace during the Central American conflicts of the 1980s.

———

“The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has sent out a statement to its 11,000 members following mounting criticism over its lack of public support for Hamdan Ballal, the Palestinian co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary ‘No Other Land,’ who was recently detained by Israeli forces.

“On Friday, the Academy issued a follow-up letter explicitly naming Ballal and apologizing for omitting both him and the film from a statement sent earlier in the week.”

[09:15] Veerkracht in tijden van dictatuur: I'm Still Here is een bijzonder rake film

De winnaar van de Oscar voor beste internationale film bij de recente uitreikingen, I'm Still Here (Ik ben er nog), is een spannend familiedrama dat zich afspeelt tijdens de militaire dictatuur van Brazilië. De film is gebaseerd op het waargebeurde verhaal van een vrouw die haar gezin een veilig thuis biedt onder een tirannieke overheid.

🧵 3/3: The fact #NoOtherLand, made by 2 #Palestinians & 2 #Israelis, went on to win an #Oscar answers the ‘then what’ question at the end of the film: a model for an #apartheid-free state where #Arabs & #Jews live/work in #peace. A vision shared by an increasing number of #Jews around the world (anti #zionist #Jewish bloc at demos) & in #Israel (check out #Israelism, a film about zionist indoctrination, or the Standing Together movement instagram.com/standing.togethe). Watch/Share/DismantleApartheid✊🏽

🧵 1/3: I don’t ask people to #repost #retoot & #share often, in fact ever. But here I’d like to ask the Fediverse to share as widely as possible:
Watch #Oscar-winning #documentary #NoOtherLand for free here channel4.com/programmes/no-oth. If you are not in the UK, you can use a VPN. The film charts the destruction by the #Israeli army of Masafer Yatta, a group of rural villages in the #WestBank, #Palestine, and the unlikely friendship of film co-directors, #Palestinian Basel Ada & Israeli Yuval Abraham

I guess I'm preaching to the choir, but did you know that:
"Zilbalodis created Flow on Blender, an open-source software that enabled him to animate the animals as CGI wireframe models and paint in his backgrounds of forested hills and drowned cities."
