The UK Jewish Film Festival is trying to raise money to cover the extra costs caused by the Tricycle Theatre's boycott.

Director Judy Ironside said that arranging new venues had inflicted an unexpected financial burden on the festival.

The theatre did a U-turn last week and told the UKJFF it would screen their films but this will not happen immediately.

In an email to subscribers, she wrote: "Given the lateness of the Tricycle's decision in our planning process, it has been an expensive process for us to relocate."
