‘The Room Next Door’ NYFF Centerpiece Screening Q&A With Julianne Moore & Tilda Swinton Disrupted By Protesters


'Room Next Door' NYFF Centerpiece Gala Screening Q&A Disrupted By Pro-Palestinian Protesters

DEVELOPING: We are getting reports from those inside Lincoln Center that the New York Film Festival post screening Q&A for Sony Pictures Classics’ Room Next Door was interrupted tonight by a small group of protesters in the theater who were chanting in support of Palestine and Lebanon, whose capital Beirut has been the target of Israeli airstrikes. From those on the ground, we’re told that the protesters, wearing masks, interrupted the conversation between the pic’s director Pedro Almodovar, and stars Julianne Moore, Tilda Swinton, John Turturro and Alessandro Nivola. The pic won the Golden Lion at its Venice Film Festival world premiere as well as the Brian Award for Almodovar.
