"Overall, we are pretty much like Russia now, only it isn't official yet with us. That may actually be worse, because if it were official, at least we'd be able to fight it," says Adar Shafran ("Running on Sand"), the director and head of the Israeli Producers Association. "When they want to submit a film to a festival, the Russians are told in advance not to do so. We aren't told that – our films simply aren't accepted."
