Covered

Although I wasn't able to find any details about the film on TIFF'sofficial website, from the Programme Book it looks likeCoveredwas originally scheduled to run in theShort Cuts Canada Programme 5on September 15th and 16th. Greyson has decided host his own screening by making the film available on Vimeo (embedded above) until the end of the festival.

While Greyson makes it clear he has no beef with the films or filmmakers participating at TIFF, he rejects the spotlight's perceived (but unofficial) affiliation with theBrand Israel campaignthat has targeted Toronto since this time last year.

Greyson'swithdrawal letter, sent to TIFF heads Piers Handling, Cameron Bailey and Noah Cowan, is embedded below:
