Gov't says it will cut Israel Film Academy funding after film 'depicting Israel negatively' wins

Funding for Israel’s top film awards will be suspended after the Culture and Sports Ministry claimed the winning film, about a Palestinian boy from the West Bank trying to see the sea for the first time, “defames” the IDF and Israel.
