The New Arab: 400 Actors Sign Open Letter Condemning Israeli Genocide
May 15, 2025
The Cannes film festival organisers are facing pressure to take a stance on Israel’s siege of Gaza after a letter from hundreds of top cinema figures denouncing ”genocide” in the Palestinian territory.
More than 380 film insiders including “Schindler’s List” actor Ralph Fiennes and four former Cannes-winning directors said they were “ashamed” of their industry’s ”passivity”.
“We cannot remain silent while genocide is taking place in Gaza,” read the letter initiated by several pro-Palestinian activist groups and published in French newspaper Liberation and US magazine Variety.
