JAKARTA - The Toronto film festival was marked by protests from the pro-Palestinian group. They disrupted the premiere of the family drama genre film starring Ben Stiller 'Nutcrackers' on Thursday night local time.

Citing AFP, Friday 6 September, the protests involving the four people opposed the Royal Bank of Canada, the main sonsor of North America's largest film festival, which continues to invest in companies affiliated with Israeli aggression in Gaza.

Shouts to stop financial support for Israeli war-affiliated companies did not last long. Security officers eventually led the group out of the film screening event.

The brief protest gave a political surprise at the start of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), a 10-day culling presenting Oscar films and spotlights for top stars.

A number of singers and film stars such as Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Salma Hayek, Cate Blanchett, and Nicole Kidman are scheduled to attend this festival.
