00:00First question, 112, back up 291.
00:08112, to your left.
00:12Hi, way over here on your, yes.
00:14My left, yes, hi.
00:15Kara Warner, Vanity Fair.
00:16Real quick, a little fashion-y question.
00:18I'm just wondering about the brooch,
00:20if there's any significance you want to share.
00:22Of course.
00:23Well, it's just beautiful.
00:26You know, there was a lot of significance tonight.
00:30It's Elsa Jin, who's a friend of mine
00:32and a wonderful artist,
00:33and I'm very grateful to get to wear something so beautiful.
00:37Perfect, perfect, congrats.
00:39Next question, 291, 279 on deck.
00:46Hi, Adrian, congratulations.
00:48Your speech was so moving, so powerful.
00:50Can you tell us why you felt
00:51that it was such an important time
00:52to mention antisemitism and hate and racism?
00:55Why did you want to highlight that
00:56in your speech tonight, specifically?
00:58Well, I think we all know that it's an important time
01:03to recognize that there's no place for intolerance,
01:08and as I had mentioned in my speech,
01:13I'm oddly receiving recognition
01:18for representing a time in history
01:21that we witness unchecked antisemitism
01:29and that hatred and oppression have no place in this world
01:35and that we must learn from the past.
01:38Next question, 279 with 203 on deck.
01:42Congratulations, Adrian.
01:43Thank you, sir.
01:44Steve Futterman, I want to ask you
01:46a bit about what you were asking before.
01:48Do you feel that the issues that you show in the film
01:52are something that people are forgetting?
01:54Is that another reason you feel that this film is important?
01:57And secondly, you seem to talk about your journey,
02:01your journey that maybe was a bit of a rollercoaster
02:04and almost like you maybe never thought
02:07you would get back to this point again.
02:09Can you talk about that as well?
02:10Or am I mistaken, maybe?
02:12No, you're not mistaken.
02:15It's been a long journey and a beautiful one
02:20and an artistic path.
02:23And as you try to navigate creative choices,
02:30there are many variables,
02:32and there are wonderfully,
02:34there's an enormous amount of talented individuals
02:37all vying for very few great opportunities,
02:41and that's the bottom line.
02:43And I have been working very hard for the past 22 years,
02:47but nothing quite connected on this level.
02:52And so I'm conscious of that,
02:55and I'm grateful that I had the good fortune
03:01of being selected by Brady and Mona
03:04to be a part of a very meaningful story,
03:09one that speaks to injustice,
03:16and not just along the lines of what we had discussed,
03:21but it's also quite relevant to consider
03:26the lives of others,
03:28the lives of people who have the hopes and dreams
03:34to be free of oppression
03:39and very difficult circumstances abroad.
03:43And my grandparents' struggles
03:51and their loss and their resilience
03:54have paved the way for my own good fortune,
03:58and I had an opportunity to honor them in this film.
04:03And the truths and the insight that I've gained
04:08to these hardships of so many people,
04:13of many different backgrounds and ethnicities,
04:21have made me aware of a need for us to be empathetic.
04:31Final question, 203, back on your right side.
04:34Please say your outlet name.
04:36Yes, hello, my name is Niles Johnson.
04:38I'm from VG News from Norway,
04:40and I have a question about the scriptwriters,
04:44and especially about what it was like
04:47for you to work with Mona Fassbold
04:50and what you would like to say about her script.
04:53Mona Fassbold and Brady Corbet
04:56co-wrote a remarkable script
05:00and one of vast storytelling
05:04and tremendous intimacy
05:07and nuance and frailty.
05:14So I am truly grateful for their contribution to cinema,
05:21their own bravery,
05:23and for believing in me
05:27and for giving me an opportunity
05:29to be a part of something of such importance
05:35and against all odds.
05:38This has been a seven-year journey for them,
05:41and I'm really grateful to have helped them
05:47tell a story of great meaning
05:50and to be included as part of this very special project.
06:00Thank you all. I really appreciate this moment.
06:02Thank you. Congratulations.
