BERLIN, Feb 17 (Reuters) - More than 80 actors, directors and other artists who have taken part in the Berlin Film Festival, including Tilda Swinton and Javier Bardem, signed an open letter to the organisers published on Tuesday calling for them to take a clear stance on Israel’s war in Gaza. “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,” said the open letter, which was published in full in entertainment industry magazine Variety. However, it has been repeatedly criticised by pro-Palestinian activists for not taking a stand on Gaza, in contrast to the war in Ukraine and the situation in Iran.
