As the world turns its attention to the 78th Cannes Film Festival, a growing number of Hollywood actors and filmmakers are using their platforms to spotlight the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. In a letter published in both Libération and Variety, more than 380 members of the entertainment industry have expressed outrage over the ongoing violence and are calling for an urgent ceasefire and increased humanitarian aid.
Among the signatories are Oscar nominees and winners, including Ralph Fiennes, Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Tilda Swinton, and Asif Kapadia. The letter denounces what they describe as “unfolding genocide” and urges governments and global leaders to stop the bloodshed, protect civilians, and ensure access to food, water, and medical aid.

With media attention focused on the festival, the letter aims to shift the spotlight onto the suffering of innocent people and the responsibilities of international communities.
This unprecedented collective action from Hollywood has reignited conversations around celebrity activism and the influence of pop culture on political discourse. Whether this pressure will result in concrete diplomatic shifts remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the entertainment industry is not staying silent.
