‘Zone of Interest’ director backed by Jewish Hollywood colleagues



LONDON: The director of award-winning film “Zone of Interest,” Jonathan Glazer, has been backed by more than 150 Jewish Hollywood figures, including actor Joaquin Phoenix, over his acceptance speech at the Oscars earlier this year.
Glazer took the opportunity of his movie being named Best International Feature Film to raise the issue of Israel’s war in Gaza, saying he refuted his “Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people.”
