"It's incredible. I'm almost zooming," the rapper told. Hollywood Reporter. New screenings will be conducted in the next few weeks.
Facets, the long-time Arthouse venue in the Lincoln Park community in Chicago, canceled screenings a few hours before Tuesday. Dillz was scheduled to screen the film and took the stage with Michael Kaminsky, a Depaul University student who was allegedly beaten and harassed on campus and made a pro-Israeli statement in a case that police called hate crimes. Dillz eventually showed the film in a theater in Wilmette as groups like the American Jewish Commission in Chicago and the newer Chicago Jewish League, opposing the decision.
"I call it an exclusion - this is the kind of anti-Semitism we deal with now, this is the kind of anti-Semitism we deal with now. "I just want to pay the rent and do business with the side, they won't accept it. "Dirtz said he even proposed to show movies in dramas without any promotions on the Marquis or the website to avoid attracting attention, but Fackets leadership refused.
