CANNES, May 29, 2023
From our Overseas Bureau
Cannes, this year, became a platform for voicing protest and strong political statements.
This all started off with woman dressed in colours of Ukrainian Flag and staged a protest on the iconic stairs of the festival. Then came the Iranian born model, Mahlagha Jaberi who made a statement to stop execution in Iran. One thing that was good was how Cannes Red Carpet became a platform for protest.
There are a lot of changes, in fact, in the Cannes Film Festival, some good some not too good, it seems.
