New list of secret abusers set to hit film industry at Cannes
The Guardian, the list is being described as “explosive”, and was said to have been sent anonymously to the National Centre for Cinema in Paris along with other “leading finance companies in France.”Both Le Figaro and Le Canard enchaîné claim that festival organisers have set up a crisis management team ahead of the allegations being made public.On Wednesday (May 15), a short film about abuse in the industry is also set to premiere, Moi Aussi, and it is expected to further hold France’s art sector to account.The film was made by Judith Godrèche who has been described as the French “ambassador of #MeToo” after she spoke out about assaults she claims to have experienced early in her career.The film includes the words of many women working in the arts. “Suddenly, before me was a crowd of victims, a reality that also represented France, so many stories from all social backgrounds and generations,” Godrèche said of the piece (via The Guardian).
