The International Documentary Association and the independent cinema coalition Art House Convergence have released a joint statement condemning Miami Beach mayor Steven Meiner's attempts to terminate the lease of the O Cinema for its decision to screen the Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land.

Meiner is introducing city legislation that seeks to terminate the lease agreement with the cinema, which rents space from the city.

O Cinema initially agreed to cancel the screening of the film about Palestinian displacement in the West Bank but reversed course.
