  • German Tabloid Bild Reports Berlinale Head Tricia Tuttle On Way Out (Deadline, 2026-02-25)

    https://deadline.com/2026/02/german-tabloid-bild-berlinale-head-tricia-tuttle-palestine-1236735602/———

    Germany’s Minister of Culture has called a meeting on Thursday to discuss the direction of the Berlin Festival in the wake of a German political backlash against pro-Palestinian speeches at the closing ceremony on Saturday.

    Bild, which has an openly pro-Israel editorial line, had previously taken a potshot at Tuttle on Tuesday in a column … accused the festival director of having “posed for Gaza propaganda” …

    Tuttle was seen as having successfully calmed the waters, through mediation and discussion behind the scenes, as well as a carefully thought through set of guidelines on the festival’s position on freedom of expression, antisemitism and support for Palestinians but after a more tranquil 2025 edition, 2026 has proved otherwise.

  • 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)

    https://variety.com/2026/film/global/javier-bardem-tilda-swinton-letter-berlinale-gaza-silence-1236665382/———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.

  • At the Berlinale, Art Is Political. Except on Palestine. (Hanno Hauenstein, 2026-02-15)

    https://hannohauenstein.substack.com/p/the-most-political-film-festival———

    ... #WimWenders was asked by journalist #TiloJung about Gaza genocide and Germany’s selective solidarities when it comes to Palestine. ... Wenders insisted: “We have to stay out of politics.” ... Film, he suggested, is “the opposite of politics.” The rest of the jury agreed or said nothing.

    International coverage ... followed. The two Arab-language films Sad Song of Touha and The Dislocation of Amber were both publicly withdrawn.

    It would be unfair to say that the #Berlinale never screened films on #Palestine ... But when confronted with a direct question about #Gaza, Wenders’ reply felt like ... a textbook example of the German cultural sphere’s deference to an official narrative that — while no longer able to downplay the sheer scale of Israel’s eradication of Gaza — now prefers to avoid the subject altogether...

    The pushback from #Berlinale jury head #WimWenders when it came to answering questions about politics sparked no shortage of headlines and outrage on the opening day of this year’s festival.

    It’s now led to one major withdrawal from Berlin, a typically highly political festival, with news that celebrated Indian author #ArundhatiRoy has pulled out...

    A U.N. human rights spokesperson expressed concern … after several European governments criticised the organisation's special rapporteur for Palestine, Francesca Albanese, and called for her resignation.

    "... We are concerned that U.N. officials, independent experts and judicial officials, are increasingly subjected to personal attacks, threats and misinformation that distracts from the serious human rights issues," U.N. human rights office spokesperson Marta Hurtado told a press briefing when asked about the criticism.

    Albanese said in overnight remarks on X: "Three European governments accuse me - based on statements I never made - with a virulence and conviction that they have NEVER used against those who have slaughtered 20,000+ children in 858 days."

    Jose Pablo Lopez, head of Spanish state broadcaster RTVE said on X: "What happened in the EBU Assembly confirms that Eurovision is not a song contest but a festival dominated by geopolitical interests and fractured."

    RTV Slovenija said it together with Spain, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Turkey, Algeria and Iceland requested a secret vote on Israel's participation, but it was not held.

    Icelandic public broadcaster RUV said its board will make a decision on Wednesday on whether to participate in the next Eurovision …

  • No Music For Genocide

    https://nomusicforgenocide.org/#top-page

    JOIN THE MOVEMENT: Reject apartheid, occupation, and genocide of Palestinians and remove your music from Israel.

    NoMusicForGenocide is a cultural boycott of Israel. Over 1000 artists and labels have geo-blocked and removed their music from that territory in response to Israel's genocide in #Gaza; occupation and ethnic cleansing of the #WestBank; apartheid within Israel / '48; political repression of Pro-Palestine efforts wherever we live; and the music industry's own ties to weapons and crimes against humanity.

    This tangible act is just one step toward honoring Palestinian demands to isolate and delegitimize Israel as it kills without consequence on the world stage. The successful cultural boycotts against apartheid South Africa prove that our creative work grants us agency and power…

  • Israeli Military Has Killed 266 Palestinians in Gaza Since 'Ceasefire' Went Into Effect: Health Ministry - Antiwar.com (2025-11-16)

    The Israeli military has killed 266 Palestinians and wounded 635 since the US-backed “ceasefire” deal went into effect on October 10, Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Sunday.

    Israel has also violated the ceasefire by not fulfilling the stipulation in the deal for it to allow an “unrestricted” flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza, as it just recently allowed aid deliveries to enter a border crossing into northern Gaza. Israel was also supposed to open the Rafah border crossing connecting #Gaza and Egypt, but it remains closed…
