Natasha Hausdorff - International Lawyer

Cancelled

Weaponization of International Law

British barrister and international lawyer Natasha Hausdorff has just headlined the 2026 JNF Annual Campaign, speaking in Sydney on September 1, Melbourne on September 3 and Perth on September 6.

The campaign was held under the theme “For a Stronger Israel. Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.”

Hausdorff is a prominent legal commentator and advocate for Israel, who regularly speaks on international law, the laws of armed conflict, human rights, the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement and claims that Israel practises apartheid. She is also the founder of the Centre for the International Rule of Law. 

She has briefed politicians and international organisations, addressed parliaments across Europe and spoken at the United Nations. (0:31-23:58)

Acclaimed director Danny Ben-Moshe turns his lens to Australia’s arts sector in Cancelled, examining the experience of Jewish creatives following October 7.

With urgency and compassion, the film follows musician Deborah Conway, visual artist Nina Sanadze, writer Joshua Dabelstein and circus artist Talia Sofizade as they navigate a rapidly shifting environment, culminating in the Bondi terror attack. Documenting their artistic practices and resilience in real time, the film forges an intimate portrait of a community and a wider reflection on the proliferation of antisemitism in the arts sector, exposing its implications on cultural life, freedom of expression and social cohesion.

Cancelled is the only feature film to document this subject in Australia and proudly makes its world premiere at JIFF. (24:04-40:23)

Dr Glenn Kolomeitz is an international law consultant and defence analyst with recent experience in Ukraine investigating Russian targeting patterns for a UK-based opensource intelligence firm and advising units of Ukraine’s International Legion. He has researched targeting and the application of targeting law in the Israel Defense Forces, has undertaken legal work for Israeli clients, and has published opinion pieces and made commentary in the Australian media rebutting anti-Israel rhetoric with factual and legal
realities. (40:29-56:31)
