Need some tips on telling better jokes? Want a star filmmaker to teach you the basics of filmmaking? Just fancy a bit of a natter with Creed star Tessa Thompson?
If the answer to any of those is ‘heck yes’, you’ll want to gather your savings and put a bid in for the latest batch of lot items in the Cinema For Gaza auction.
The auction, which is raising funds to help alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, has seen a host of movie stars and filmmakers offering their time and memorabilia.
The latest to join the action are Colman, who will be providing a no-doubt magnificent video message to the highest bidder, Paul Mescal, ditto a signed Aftersun poster, and Tessa Thompson. The Creed and Thor: Ragnarok star will be sharing a virtual beer – and one of her film costumes – with whoever stumps up the most money for charity.
Here’s a few of the latest items to bid for:
- Personalised video message from Olivia Colman
- Aftersun poster signed by Paul Mescal
- Beer on Zoom with Tessa Thompson, plus Sorry to Bother You costume and The Marvels memorabilia

To date the auction has raised more than £100,000, with other lot items including bedtime stories from Rebecca Hall and Tilda Swinton, a ‘perfect porridge’-making workshop with Josh O’Connor over Zoom and a Zoom cuppa with Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn.
