Amman, Sept 8 (Petra) – Around 1,500 actors, directors, and film industry professionals worldwide, including Yorgos Lanthimos, Ayo Edebiri, Tilda Swinton, Olivia Colman, Javier Bardem, and Mark Ruffalo, announced Monday that they are suspending collaboration with Israeli film institutions, accusing them of “complicity in the genocide” in Gaza, according to an open letter published in The Guardian.
The letter stated, “At this critical moment, as our governments allow the massacre in Gaza, we must do everything in our power to confront this complicity.”
The initiative was led by the Film Workers for Palestine group, aiming to halt cooperation with festivals, cinemas, and production and distribution companies that contribute to “whitewashing or justifying the genocide and apartheid system.”
The signatories noted that most Israeli production and distribution companies and film institutions have “never recognized the full internationally acknowledged rights of the Palestinian people.”
