A film made by a female Charedi director who insisted it be shown only to women will be seen in London after two planned screenings were scrapped over legal concerns.
The Gift of Fire was due to be shown as part of the Israeli Film and Televsion Festival, Seret 2015 this week.
Director Rechy Elias demanded that, for religious reasons, men should be barred from seeing it.
Festival organisers cancelled a screening at the Odeon Swiss Cottage after the cinema group refused to agree to the restriction.
