British Council statement on SERET festival

14 June 2012

A British Council spokesperson said:

“We have a long record of work in education and culture in both Israel and the Palestinian territories. For the Film and TV festival we have contributed to the costs of bringing 7 film makers from Israel to visit London to take part in a training workshop, present their films and TV shows and meet with audiences and professionals. We’re supporting this part of the festival because we believe that international cultural exchange makes a contribution to a more peaceful and prosperous world.

The festival is organised by SERET, so any questions about their choice of wine should be referred to them.”
