81 Artists Demand Berlinale Break Silence on Gaza

An open letter signed by 81 Berlinale alumni, including Tilda Swinton and Javier Bardem, accuses the Berlin Film Festival of censoring artists who oppose Israel’s actions in Gaza and urges Berlinale to condemn the violence and defend artistic free expression. The letter points to a broader industry trend toward cultural boycotts of Israel and thousands of film workers who have refused to work with Israeli institutions. Berlinale director Tricia Tuttle defended free speech, while jury president Wim Wenders’ remark that filmmaking is the “opposite of politics” sparked backlash, fueling ongoing debate about politics in the festival. The signatories urge Berlinale to publicly oppose Israel’s actions and uphold artists’ right to speak on Palestinian rights.
