““As a #Jewish American artist working in a time-based medium, I must note, I’m accepting this award on the 336th day of Israel’s #genocide in Gaza and 76th year of #occupation,” said U.S. director Sarah Friedland as she accepted the Luigi de Laurentiis prize for best first film for Familiar Touch.”

    Kinda off topic but how does one say # ?

    I hope she didnt say “hashtag genocide” or is this creative direction by the article?

    Edit: Yeah looks like its not even part of the referenced twitter post. Weird.

      She didn’t. She just said “as a Jewish American” and whomever transcribed it added the #, I guess for the engagement, which is good because the message that Jewish people stand against ethnostates and genocide is one that unfortunately many people still need to hear.
