Jonathan Glazer contributes autographed ‘Zone of Interest’ posters to Gaza fundraiser

In a heartwarming gesture, acclaimed director Jonathan Glazer has made a generous donation to the Cinema for Gaza auction, raising funds for medical aid to Palestinians. Glazer, known for his Oscar-winning film “The Zone of Interest,” along with producer James Wilson, has contributed signed posters from his films, including “Under the Skin,” to the auction.

The signed posters, also featuring composer Mica Levi’s signature, have become one of the most sought-after items in the auction, with a current bid of $3,450. The auction, which has already raised over $52,800, includes a variety of exclusive items from UK entertainment industry figures.

Notable items up for auction include a bedtime story read by Tilda Swinton over Zoom, a porridge masterclass with Josh O’Connor, and tickets to a stand-up show and afterparty with Ramy Youssef. Other items include signed memorabilia from Maisie Williams, Andrew Haigh, and Colin Firth.

Glazer’s philanthropic act comes on the heels of his controversial Oscars speech, where he used the platform to address the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the plight of Palestinians. The speech received backlash from some members of the Jewish community in the entertainment industry, who criticized Glazer for his comments on the occupation and dehumanization.

The Cinema for Gaza auction will close on April 12, giving bidders the opportunity to support a worthy cause while acquiring unique memorabilia from their favorite entertainment personalities.
