JCA had arranged with Classic Cinema in Elsternwick to host the screening of the Palestinian-Israeli Academy Award-winning film on 1 May, which was to be followed by a discussion between a Palestinian and an Israeli speaker, with one of the film-makers recording a dedicated message for the event.
Organiser Sophia Kagan said she received a call from the cinema on Wednesday informing her the event would be cancelled.
Kagan said she was told the cinema had received 20 complaints and threats in one day, and were warned there would be protests planned for the evening of the screening.
The organisers told Guardian Australia a new screening has been arranged at Palace in Brighton Bay for the same date.

I saw A Minecraft Movie at Event Cinemas in Westfield Burwood in Sydney yesterday, and experienced some of the mayhem. There were lots of cheering and clapping from teenage boys, and of course throwing of popcorn during the chicken jockey scene.
