Overview

• Reported totals have surged from roughly 1,200–1,400 at launch to thousands within a day, with outlets citing figures from more than 2,500 to nearly 3,900 signatories.
• The pledge commits signers to refuse work with Israeli festivals, cinemas, broadcasters, production companies and distributors deemed complicit, naming the Jerusalem, Haifa, Docaviv and TLVFest events.
• Notable signers include Tilda Swinton, Mark Ruffalo, Javier Bardem, Olivia Colman, Yorgos Lanthimos, Ava DuVernay, Emma Stone and Gael García Bernal.
• The statement specifies that the action targets institutional complicity rather than individuals by nationality, and it provides FAQs and legal guidance for implementation.
• Israel’s Association of Film and TV Producers rejected the campaign, arguing the signers are targeting the wrong people and asserting Israeli creators have long engaged with Palestinian narratives and collaboration for peace.
