Replacing Eurovision with Palestinian films

The Slovenian public service channel RTVSLO says that, instead of broadcasting this year's Eurovision Song Contest, it will show Palestinian films.

We will broadcast the film series "Voices of Palestine" with Palestinian documentaries and feature films, says the company's director, Ksenija Horvat.

In December, it became clear that broadcasters in Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain would all boycott this year's contest after members of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) voted to allow Israel to participate.

The 70th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest takes place in Vienna in May.
