Before the out-of-competition screening of the film “Acide” by French director Just Philippot, this woman positioned herself on the steps, then she pulled out bags of fake blood, which she tore above her head. It carried no written message.
Security agents immediately intervened to evacuate him from the carpet.
Wednesday evening, a feminist activist had already taken over the red carpet of the Festival, to protest against surrogacy (GPA). Dressed in a red dress revealing a fake pregnant belly, on which was written “surrogacy” (GPA), this activist had already entered the red carpet in 2022 with her bust covered in paint in the colors of the Ukrainian flag and the words “stop raping us” (“stop raping us”).
