Cannes Film Festival Gives Update On Early Ticketing Problems
The Cannes Film Festival, which gets underway this week, has given an update following complaints from journalists Monday about online ticketing issues. The festival said that difficulties “are very likely due to acts aimed at saturating the site with ticket requests, thus preventing festival-goers from accessing it.” Earlier in the day, festival head Thierry Frémaux had told journalists at a press event that the festival was experiencing attacks by online bots, which could be part of the problem. The festival has also added a portal (click here ) where journalists can “more easily access online bookings.” Below is the festival’s statement.

Why Deadline Can’t Publish Our Magazine Interview With Cannes Film Festival Head Thierry Frémaux
Long a bastion of artistic freedom, the Cannes Film Festival has a secret: it censors interviews with festival head Thierry Frémaux. The festival has not only been demanding copy approval as a condition for interviews with Frémaux (something no other festival or organization has asked of us), but after pledging not to make any changes to copy, it has been removing content including potentially uncomfortable answers from Frémaux relating to diversity and controversial filmmakers. Last month we were in Paris following the lineup announcement to interview Frémaux about the selection and the festival more generally for our Cannes Disruptors magazine. Following an entirely amicable and interesting on-record interview, I was belatedly told by the press team about the copy approval requirement. I was told that these conditions were adhered to by trade and French press, including Deadline in the past. I contested the practice as unethical but was told this was done primarily as a … [Read more...] about Why Deadline Can’t Publish Our Magazine Interview With Cannes Film Festival Head Thierry Frémaux

EXCLUSIVE : George Miller is distracted. Five minutes into our meeting, he begs forgiveness to take a quick call.
