Overview

• Film Workers for Palestine says more than 2,500 actors, directors and crew have signed the pledge, up from early counts of about 1,200–1,400 reported hours earlier.
• The commitment rejects work with Israeli film institutions deemed complicit, including festivals, cinemas, broadcasters, production companies and distributors.
• Examples named include the Jerusalem Film Festival, the Haifa festival, Docaviv and TLVFest, which organizers say operate in partnership with the Israeli government.
• Signatories include Tilda Swinton, Mark Ruffalo, Javier Bardem, Olivia Colman, Yorgos Lanthimos, Ava DuVernay, Emma Stone, Riz Ahmed and Susan Sarandon.
• The campaign targets institutional complicity rather than Israeli individuals and provides FAQs and legal guidance, while Israel’s producers association calls the boycott misguided.
