On the first day of the
#CannesFilmFestival, a letter was published condemning the silence of the Hollywood film industry over Israel’s military action in Gaza. Now, more A-listers have added their names to the list, including
#JoaquinPhoenix (whose “Eddington” premieres at the festival Friday), jury president
#JulietteBinoche,
#RizAhmed,
#JimJarmusch,
#MichaelMoore and
#GuillermodelToro, whose long-awaited take on “Frankenstein” opens later this year.
“Since the terrible massacres of 7 October 2023, no foreign journalist has been authorised to enter the Gaza Strip. The Israeli army is targeting civilians. More than 200 journalists have been deliberately killed. Writers, filmmakers and artists are being brutally murdered,” the letter stated.
