Pro-Palestinian Protest Planned at Sundance Film Festival Amid Ongoing Gaza Conflict

The 'Let Gaza Live' demonstration, organized by the Palestinian Solidarity Association of Utah, aims to draw attention to the ongoing violence in Gaza during one of the world's largest indie film festivals.

• Pro-Palestinian protest, 'Let Gaza Live', is set to take place at the Sundance Film Festival on January 21, coinciding with a panel on 'deadly tropes about Jews and Israel on TV, Film and Media'.
• The protest is organized by the Palestinian Solidarity Association of Utah and is not affiliated with the Sundance Film Festival.
• Security for the protest will be provided by the Utah-based organization, Armed Queers of Salt Lake City, and local law enforcement.
• The protest aims to draw attention to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, with organizers stating, 'While bombs are dropping, the people cannot continue watching films on their screens while ignoring a genocide in Gaza.'
• The Sundance Film Festival, which began on January 18 and runs until January 28, has stated that the safety and security of festival goers is a top priority.
