There is growing angst about the potential impact of the confirmed SAG strike on upcoming A-list festivals such as Venice and Toronto, but the industrial action is already having a tangible effect on festivals around the world with the Galway Film Fleadh in Ireland having to pull a Q&A tonight with actor Matthew Modine.
It becomes the first festival known to have a promotional event pulled because of the strike. Modine, the one-time SAG president hopeful, was due to take part in the Q&A for movie The Martini Shot, which is debuting at the event, but the actor has removed himself from any further promotional activities.
Co-star and fellow SAG member Fiona Glascott was also due to be taking part in the Q&A, we are told. The plan at the moment we’re told by producers is for Modine, Glascott and co-stars to watch the movie “as audience members”, though that could change last minute.
