During her acceptance speech at the Berlin Film Festival, Tilda Swinton criticized systemic issues of greed and state-operated violence while receiving her honorary Golden Bear award. She highlighted the global atrocities occurring under the complicity of governments and recognized the film industry's role in addressing these pressing social issues. Swinton praised filmmakers for their work on sensitive themes and expressed solidarity with those who confront the moral implications of governmental associations with war criminals. Her remarks drew attention to the urgent need for collective accountability in facing global conflicts fueled by greed.
Swinton emphasized that "State-operated and internationally enabled mass murder is currently actively terrorising more than one part of our world," addressing pervasive global conflicts.
"I'm free to name it, without hesitation or doubt in my mind," Swinton declared, expressing her commitment to speaking against the inhumane acts she believes are overlooked.
Praising the festival, she expressed "unwavering solidarity to all those who recognise the unacceptable complicity of our greed-addicted governments who make nice with planet-wreckers and war criminals."
Referring to development conflicts, she criticized calls for displacement of residents, citing an example related to US President Trump's proposals regarding Gaza's Palestinian population.
