The Oscar winner has declared journalists who will travel to Scotland after Berlin to rest and recover after an intense work period. “I need a break and I’m going to have it”he added. “We all know what to do cinema is a ruthless lover and I have been under the whip for a while.”
“When I return to Scotland on Monday, I will embark on something that I have been waiting for for 15 years, which is a period of my life in which I do something different. I can’t say exactly what it is, but I can say that I will not roll any movie for the rest of this year”
He added that he needs “time” to develop several projects, “some are for cinema and others not.” He pointed out that from the pandemic, the difficulties in making independent cinema made the actors and actresses be pressured to film immediately when financing is found. “Things have become a bit crazy”he added.
“In the old days, before Covid-19, people said: ‘We believe we have the money to make an independent film’ and we simply said: ‘Can we wait another nine months to develop something?’ And people very often said: ‘Okay,’ ”said Swinton. “From Covid-19, the situation has been: ‘No, money is already here and you have to do it.’ That feeling of hoarding and insecurity about financing have been really exhausting for all of us. I need a break, so I’m going to take it. ”
The actress spoke at a press conference held on the morning that They will give him the honorary gold bear Last night in a snowy German capital. Sitting next to the director of the Tricia Tuttle Festival

Yesterday, Swinton received the honorary gold bear. In a later speech, criticized “the inhuman” that “is being perpetrated under our surveillance”he added: “I am here to name it without hesitation or doubt in my mind, and to provide my unwavering solidarity to all those who recognize the unacceptable complacency of our governments addicted to greed that get along with the destroyers of the planet and criminals War, wherever they come from. ”
During today’s press conference, he explained why he decided to attend the festival despite the Palestinian boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement that calls Boicotear Gaza, in relation to the treatment of filmmakers who demonstrated last year.
“I am a great admirer and respect a lot to the BDS movement and I think a lot about it,” Swinton said. “I decided that it was more important for me to come. They gave me a platform, and at a personal moment I decided that it was potentially more useful for all our causes than not having presented myself. It was a decision that I made with full respect. ”
He added that he had a “enormous respect” for those who had opposite opinions. “We all face a feeling of helplessness and helplessness, so any powerful action or gesture that we can do seems like a good option. I understand that the boycott may seem, often it is, the most powerful thing we can do. ”
