More film celebrities have joined the Cinema for Gaza auction looking to raise funds for the charity Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) before final bids are accepted on Friday.

Joaquin Phoenix has donated a signed Joker poster, and will also sign, along with Lynne Ramsay, a poster for You Were Never Really Here, the 2017 crime thriller. Other late entries include six signed books from horrormeister Guillermo Del Toro and a signed The Crown script by Emma Corin, organizers said Thursday.

There’s also auction lots for a painting by American History X director Tony Kaye and a signed clapperboard from the cast and team behind Hamlet, including Joe Alwyn, Riz Ahmed, Timothy Spall and Morfyyd Clark. The final lots were added Thursday ahead of the last bids accepted on Friday.

“Cinema For Gaza’s first fundraiser is in its final few days, and with over $200,000 and counting raised, has finished adding new lots. The auction, which featured items donated from Spike Lee, Jonathan Glazer, Tessa Thompson, Joseph Quinn, Tilda Swinton, Maisie Williams, Benedict Wong and many more was inundated with wonderful donations from across the film industry,” the auction organizers said in a statement.

The Gaza auction got an early boost when The Zone of Interest filmmaker Jonathan Glazer offered to donate seven signed posters for his Oscar-winning movie, as well as a selection of posters for his 2014 film Under the Skin. The posters will be signed by Glazer, composer Mica Levi and James Wilson.

Tilda Swinton, Ramy Youssef, Peter Capaldi, Imelda Staunton, Brian Cox, Joseph Quinn, Mike Leigh, Misan Harriman, Joanna Hogg, Aimee Lou Wood and Josh O’Connor have also donated items to the fundraiser.

Funds raised will go to Medical Aid For Palestinians the only non-government organization currently operating in the north of Gaza.
