A scheduled screening of “No Other Land,” a documentary made by an Israeli-Palestinian collective that recently won an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature Film, was cancelled at the College of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts. The college was not coordinating the event.

The screening was scheduled for April 23 at the Geren Auditorium in the Architecture Building. A panel discussion of Texas A&M faculty was to follow the film, which focuses on a Palestinian community in the West Bank. According to a university spokesperson, A&M’s provost and the college’s dean discussed delaying the event to the fall “so it could be held in conjunction with other academic programs that would add value.”

The film is now being screened at Premiere Cinemas at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 22. The theatre is offering a student discount.

“The College of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts is supportive of the film showing,” a statement from the College of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts reads. “We expect that its showing at Premiere Cinemas will provide the opportunity for many people beyond the campus community to see it.”

According to a university spokesperson, the request to screen the movie came from the faculty advisor of an informal student group in the college and is not associated with a specific course or any academic research. It’s unclear which student group made the request.

“Therefore, academic freedom around what we teach and what we pursue as scholarship is not a risk,” the spokesperson said.
