Ava DuvernayMore than 2,000 Hollywood figures, including well-known actors and filmmakers, have pledged to boycott the growing Israeli movie industry in response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

The open letter was published online on Tuesday in five languages by Filmmakers for Palestine – which describes itself as "a call by and for filmmakers and cinema workers to stand for an end to genocide, and for a free Palestine." The letter was signed by stars including Emma Stone, Gael Garcia Bernal, Alyssa Milano, Olivia Colman, Brian Cox and Ilana Glazer, among many others. Filmmakers who have signed include Ava DuVernay, Adam McKay and Yorgos Lanthimos.

The signatories are pledging to avoid working with Israeli film institutions that are "implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people."

"Despite operating in Israel's system of apartheid, and therefore benefiting from it, the vast majority of Israeli film production & distribution companies, sales agents, cinemas and other film institutions have never endorsed the full, internationally-recognized rights of the Palestinian people," the website's FAQ page states.
