The International Documentary Association and the independent cinema coalition Art House Convergence have released a joint statement condemning Miami Beach mayor Steven Meiner's attempts to terminate the lease of the O Cinema for its decision to screen the Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land.

Meiner is introducing city legislation that seeks to terminate the lease agreement with the cinema, which rents space from the city.

Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner moves to evict O Cinema under lease terms allowing the city to terminate for any reason.
