Tribeca Denounces Elon Gold's Offensive Palestine Joke at Premiere
Tribeca Film Festival condemned Elon Gold’s Palestine joke made on the red carpet for The Wedding Entertainer, calling it offensive and unacceptable and saying it does not reflect the festival’s values. The remarks about Palestinians’ suffering drew sharp criticism; Lizzy Savetsky, who joined as a red-carpet reporter, was not credentialed by Tribeca. The festival expressed regret for the hurt caused and said it has not been able to reach the filmmakers.
