Tilda Swinton got political as she accepted Berlin Film Festival ‘s Golden Bear for Lifetime Achievement at its opening ceremony on Thursday night, saying “the inhumane is being perpetrated on our watch.” In a poetic speech, Swinton called the festival “a borderless realm and with no policy of exclusion, persecution or deportation.” She then acknowledged that “state-perpetrated and internationally enabled mass murder is currently actively terrorizing more than one part of our world.” Swinton has had close ties to the Berlinale for many years, starring in 26 films in the festival’s selection including “Caravaggio,” which won the Silver Bear in 1986; “The Beach” (2000); “Derek” (2008); “Julia” (2008); “The Garden” (1991); and “Last and First Men” (2020).
