Honestly, the Academy president and CEO should step down over this. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ma...

Academy board to meet as response to No Other Land director’s arrest decried

Meeting follows letter signed by prominent members urging more forceful response on Hamdan Ballal’s arrest

Any one of the "11,000 global members with diverse viewpoints" who cannot condemn the physical assault of a filmmaker does not belong in the Academy. This is a woefully insufficient response, literally worse than silence.

AMPAS has issued a new statement that basically says: “we will continue to say nothing.” they don’t even bother mentioning Hamdan Ballal — an Oscar winner!!! — by name.

“Dear Academy members,
At the heart of the Academy's mission is a commitment to honoring excellence in the motion picture arts and sciences and connecting the world through the power of cinema. We do this through our work on the Oscars, our exhibitions and programs, our preservation and
education efforts, and so much more. We believe deeply in the ability of film to illuminate, to provoke thought, and to bridge divides by offering a window into diverse human experiences.”

“We fundamentally believe that film has the power to enlighten global audiences and highlight different perspectives - and we encourage our members to use their art to do so.
The Academy condemns harming or suppressing artists for their work or their viewpoints.
We are living in a time of profound change, marked by conflict and uncertainty
- across the globe, in the U.S., and within our own industry. Understandably, we are often asked to speak on behalf of the Academy in response to social, political, and economic events. In these instances, it is important to note that the Academy represents close to 11,000 global members with many unique viewpoints.”

“We are, however, united in a shared belief in the importance of storytelling, in the value of empathy, and in the role of film as a catalyst. As an
organization, our focus continues to be the celebration of creative voices that make up the global film community - and supporting your freedom to create, to challenge, and to imagine.
We remain steadfast in this work, and we are grateful to walk alongside each of you in it.
Bill Kramer and Janet
Yang”
