Women get political at Cannes: Pro-choice protests, dress code violations, boundary breakers + more

[ms_mmelissa]

Last night I was stopped on the Cannes red carpet and told by this idiotic security guard that I couldn’t get into this premiere because I was wearing flats. I threatened to post this video on our Variety website. I got in. pic.twitter.com/TTXGn0RDsK

I'm so tired of this shit. As a woman who wants to make movies its like the industry wants us to fail. I can't imagine how much worse it is for woc.

This festival is so antiquated and out of touch. It doesn't have a place in the current times.

[jensonanckles]

This. And then they're complaining and wondering why no one watches the opening ceremony anymore. Barely 377,000 this year. It's very rich, white people doing rich, white people things and it clashes with the political landscape in France right now.

[asnindie]

Yeah given the turmoil in France it's so out of touch with the common people.

[treenotree]

didn't realise they air the opening ceremony. is that a france only thing? is it just people walking the carpet like the met gala, or is there stuff from the inside as well?
