00:00The Cannes Film Festival has already been abruptly halted.
00:02And it's not because of a breakdown or a scandal,
00:05It's because of the directors themselves.
00:07I make a video a day about the Cannes Film Festival

00:12And hurry up and invite me because I need to arrange for someone to look after little Tukie.

00:19In May 1968, a student revolt broke out in Nanterre
00:23quickly spreads to a massive general strike.

00:43François Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Louis Malle, Claude Lelouch and others take action.
00:48And what's more, they even prevented a screening.
00:51To block Peppermint Frappé by Carlos Sora.
00:53Their message is simple: we cannot celebrate cinema
00:56while the country is in the midst of a social crisis.
00:58Who thinks that cinema is not political?
