Cannes Film Festival director Thierry Fremaux said he was open to letting climate demonstrators onto the red carpet, as the showbiz extravaganza prepared to launch amid bursts of activism on both sides of the Atlantic. | Reuters
“We are in the process of speaking with Cyril Dion, the French filmmaker and climate activist, because a big climate day is organized for next Monday,” Fremaux told a news conference.
“It’s not impossible that we will welcome them at the top of the steps to express themselves,” he added. It was too early to tell what effect the writer’s strike would have on the festival, he said, but the right to strike had to be respected. “We will see if the actors and the writers who will sit at this table for their films will want to talk about this issue – of course they will be welcome to do so,” he said.
Talks with the CGT union – a founder member of the festival – had been positive and so far no concrete plans to cut power had been announced, he said.The festival “is a place that is protected for the fortnight but is at the same time a target for certain people to make demands because it projects them more strongly,” Fremaux said.
