Tilda Swinton pledges her support for war-torn Gaza as she slips into an elegant black satin gown at the San Sebastian Film Festival

Tilda Swinton pledged her support for war-torn Gaza on Thursday as she attended a photocall for her new film The Room Next Door at the San Sebastian Film Festival.

The actress, 63, cut an elegant figure in a stunning black satin dress as she posed for photos to promote her role in the film, a translation of the Spanish title La Habitación De Al Lado.

Tilda oozed glamor in her quirky black dress adorned with black beaded details and a voluminous skirt.

She paired her outfit with a matching fan and completed her outfit with a badge with the words SOS Gaza, as the country continues to be shattered by the ongoing conflict with Israel.

According to the United Nations, more than 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.4 million residents have been displaced during the nearly year-long conflict.

Israel’s campaign in Gaza has killed more than 41,500 Palestinians and injured more than 96,000 others, according to the latest figures released Thursday by the Health Ministry.

The ministry’s count does not distinguish between civilians and combatants, but more than half of the dead are women and children, including about 1,300 children under the age of two.

Israel launched its campaign in Gaza, vowing to destroy Hamas after the Oct. 7 attack in which militants killed about 1,200 people and took about 250 others hostage.

It blames Hamas for the civilian deaths in Gaza because the group’s fighters operate in residential areas and use civilian infrastructure.

Distributed by Warner Bros, The Room Next Door will hit UK cinemas on October 25.

Tilda leads as Martha alongside Julianne Moore as Ingrid – who was not at the event on Thursday – but previously performed stylishly at Milan Fashion Week.

The drama/comedy explores the rift between Martha (Tilda), a deeply imperfect mother and war correspondent, and her resentful daughter, as well as the former’s relationship with writer Ingrid (Julianne).

The cast also includes acting legend and filmmaker John Turturro, Face/Off star Alessandro Nivola, Esther McGregor, Alex Høgh Andersen and Alvise Rigo.

This is actually the filmmaker’s second Golden Lion Award, following the honorary prize he received in 2019

Born in Calzada de Calatrava, Spain, Almodóvar has many directing credits to his name, including the festival selections Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown (1988), Talk To Her (2002), Bad Education (2004), Volver (2006) , Broken Embraces (2009), Julieta (2016) and Pain and Glory (2019).

In 2023, he received the Impact Media Award at the TIFF Tribute Awards, which recognizes leadership in creating a union between social impact and cinema.

While the ladies did their part to promote the film at the Toronto International Film Festival, the filmmaker basked in all the glory of taking home the Golden Lion Award at the 81st Venice International Film Festival at the Palazzo del Cinema in Venice, Italy. Variety reports.

This is actually the filmmaker’s second Golden Lion Award, following the honorary prize he received in 2019.

The two-time Academy Award winner thanked both Tilda and Julianne during his largely Spanish-language acceptance speech.

“This is my first film in English, but the spirit is Spanish,” the director revealed during that impassioned speech.

The Room Next Door will then be released theatrically in Spain on October 18.
