The Precarious Film Festival Workers Collective has criticized the management of the Cannes Film Festival and the French government for rejecting plans to resolve ongoing pay disputes, warning of a potential mass exodus from the industry by festival staffers. Despite meetings with various stakeholders to discuss streamlining hiring and compensation processes, the French Ministries of Labor and Culture rejected immediate measures to address the workers' living standards. The collective insists on urgent affiliation of festival employees to the intermittence system and vows to continue advocating for their demands.
