The Cannes Film Festival has taken a position on the war in Ukraine, and will bar Russian delegations at its 75th edition this May. "As the world has been hit by a heavy crisis in which a part of Europe finds itself in a state of war, the Festival de Cannes wishes to extend all its support to the people of Ukraine and all those who are in its territory," reads a statement released on Tuesday. "However modest as it is, we join our voices with those who oppose this unacceptable situation and denounce the attitude of Russia and its leaders. "During this winter of 2022, the Festival de Cannes has entered its preparation phase.
Unless the war of assault ends in conditions that will satisfy the Ukrainian people, it has been decided that we will not welcome official Russian delegations nor accept the presence of anyone linked to the Russian government." While Russian delegations are barred, the festival has implied that individual filmmakers may still be welcome at the festival; however, it’s still unclear whether their films will be selected for competition or anywhere else in the fest.
