Almost 1,500 actors and directors are boycotting Israeli film institutions, accusing them of complicity in the genocide in Gaza.

The Film Workers for Palestine group has initiated a cultural boycott, similar to that during the South African apartheid, against Israeli film institutions, accusing them of involvement in the genocide in Gaza. Among the signatories of the letter are renowned actors such as Yorgos Lanthimos and Tilda Swinton, who are calling for an end to collaboration with festivals and production companies that justify violence. Although the boycott targets institutions, not individuals, the organizers emphasize that there are also Israeli entities that are not complicit. This action comes in the context of escalating violence in Gaza, with a devastating toll of human losses.
