Overview

• Film Workers for Palestine published the declaration on Monday with over 1,700 signatories from across the international film and TV industry.
• The commitment covers refusal to screen, appear at, or collaborate with Israeli film institutions deemed complicit, including festivals, cinemas, broadcasters, and production companies.
• Organizers cite major festivals such as the Jerusalem Film Festival, the Haifa International Film Festival, Docaviv, and TLVFest as examples of targeted institutions.
• The pledge specifies that it targets institutions rather than individual Israeli artists and says it responds to appeals from Palestinian filmmakers.
• Prominent signatories include Yorgos Lanthimos, Aki Kaurismäki, Adam McKay, Ken Loach, Mike Leigh, Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem, Gael García Bernal, Cynthia Nixon, and Mark Ruffalo, with no formal responses from the named institutions reported yet.
