>> Don‘t ask about #Palestine at #Berlinale! Tilo [Jung] attended today‘s press conference of the festival‘s jury and asked about the selective treatment of human rights. The Berlinale has famously shown solidarity with the people of Iran and Ukraine. But never with Palestinians. Jury president Wim Wenders refused to engage and actually said: „We have to stay out of politics“ 🤯

>> Tilo‘s question and the following got censorsed on the Berlinale official livestream which suddenly experienced „technical difficulties“. This footage comes from the Reuters news agency instead.

Javier Bardem, Tilda Swinton and Adam McKay Among 81 Names to Sign Open Letter Criticizing Berlin Film Festival for ‘Silence’ on Gaza: ‘We Are Dismayed’ (Variety, 2026-02-17)

———
With the full letter text and list of signatories.

>> In the open letter, the signatories assert that they “fervently disagree” with Wenders views on filmmaking and politics. “You cannot separate one from the other,” …

>> The letter notes that the #Berlinale has made “clear statements” in the past about “atrocities” carried out against people in Iran and Ukraine.

>> “We call on the Berlinale to fulfil its moral duty and clearly state its opposition to Israel’s genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes against Palestinians, and completely end its involvement in shielding Israel from criticism and calls for accountability,” it concludes.
