Director of the Cannes Film Festival Thierry Fremaux said on Monday that he was willing to allow climate activists onto the red carpet as the entertainment extravaganza was ready to begin amid agitation on both sides of the Atlantic.
In addition, Fremaux announced that artists would be invited to speak about problems related to the Hollywood writers’ strike. He also claimed to have had “positive dialogue” with the CGT union of France, which had threatened to cut electricity to the event because of pension protests.
He stated that while it was too soon to predict how the writer’s strike would affect the festival, the right to strike had to be recognised.
In an effort to concentrate the festival’s attention on the films, which this year include “La Chimaera” by Alice Rohrwacher and “Fallen Leaves” from Aki Kaurismaki, the city of Cannes has once again prohibited protests in the festival’s hub.
However, the organisers are under unprecedented strain because of the convergence of at least three significant protest groupings.
Because a significant climate day is scheduled for next Monday, Cyril Dion, a French filmmaker and environmental activist, and I are currently conversing.
It’s not out of the question that we’ll invite them to express themselves at the top of the stairs, he continued.
