I’m advocating for the termination of our city’s lease agreement and the withdrawal of financial support from the independent theater currently showing the Academy Award-winning documentary “No Other Land.” The mayor of Miami Beach has made this request.
As a passionate advocate, I’ve taken a stand against a biased film that unfairly targets the Jewish community, going so far as to label it as a one-sided propaganda attack. In alignment with our city’s values and the beliefs of our residents, I’ve proposed legislation to end the O Theater’s lease for the historic City Hall building.
Even though it received an Oscar and multiple other accolades, the film “No Other Land” has been met with debate over its portrayal of Palestinian houses and settlements in the West Bank that were demolished by the Israeli army.

In spite of earning an Oscar and various other honors, “No Other Land” has sparked controversy due to its depiction of Palestinian homes and communities in the West Bank being destroyed by the Israeli military.

The film “No Other Land,” which garnered an Oscar and numerous other awards, has faced criticism for showing Palestinian homes and villages in the West Bank being destroyed by the Israeli military.
U.S. distributors chose not to acquire it, instead, the movie was directly scheduled by distribution consultant Cinetic into cinemas like the Miami Beach non-profit theater.
The Miami Herald reports that city commissioners will make a decision on the proposal concerning the movie theater next week. As stated in the resolution proposed by the mayor, “We, the Mayor and City Commission, aim to find a new operator or grantee for the cinema situated on the property who aligns better with our city’s values and actively works towards creating a secure and welcoming atmosphere for our residents and guests.
Initially, Vivian Marthell, the head of Cinema, chose to halt the movie showings, expressing this decision in a letter to the mayor on March 6. In the letter, she explained, “Given our apprehensions over potential antisemitic language, we have opted to remove the film from our schedule. This film has created a divide that hinders us from achieving our long-standing goal of encouraging thoughtful discussions about cinematic pieces.
However, after a change of mind, the cinema decided to show the movie last week, and there are further screenings scheduled for March 19 and 20.
instead of cancelling “No Other Land,” the theater could alternatively show a film like “Screams Before Silence,” which portrays the experiences of women targeted by Hamas, offering a contrasting perspective.
Meiner and Marthell did not respond to requests for comment.
