Overview

• In a renewed Aug. 22 letter, the coalition asked the Biennale to rescind the invitations and reassign red‑carpet space to a Palestinian delegation.
• The group also requested stage time at the opening ceremony for Palestinian artists to deliver direct testimony.
• Venice4Palestine criticized the Biennale’s reply for not naming Palestine or condemning the Gaza campaign.
• Independent sections Giornate degli Autori and SNCCI/SIC signaled support or openness to dialogue, contrasting with the main institution’s stance.
• The campaign builds on a petition with over 1,500 film‑industry signatures, includes a call to end partnerships with organizations backing Israel’s government, and supports a Aug. 30 demonstration at the Lido.
