Paris:
The head of the Cannes Film Festival said on Wednesday that it would focus on the conclusions of the parliamentary inquiry of the abuses in the entertainment sector, insisting that women were being “heard”.
Iris Nebach told reporters in Paris, “I would like to say that the festival has paid attention to the recommendations from the Commission of Inquiry on Violence in the cultural field with seriousness and determination.”
“I am very happy that the change continues through changes and courage. Women are finally heard,” they were finally heard of films that the films announced at a press conference, which will be displayed on the festival, which begins on May 13.
“The festival is especially attentive to it, and they (women) are no longer asking for their place, they are taking it. We are honored to raise their voices, to throw a light on the incredible talent that makes our vision wide.”
A French parliamentary inquiry into the entertainment industry on Wednesday published its findings, concluding the MPs that the artists were abused “spatial”.
Sandrin Russo, an outspoken feminist MP of the Greens Party, called Kansa to set up sexual abuse as well as establish an example of physical and psychological violence.
“The place in the Cannes Film Festival should be the place where this changes in the mindset; the place where we say loud and clear … between the brightness and the red carpets … Finally, we all want to change things: every one of us, at every level of the industry, at every level of the industry,” he told reporters on Wednesday.
Early ear is ready to match the French film veteran Gerrard Depardieu’s first sexual attack testing, which caught the country last month.
