Last update: 2 hours agoCannes opens under pressure: The 79th Cannes Film Festival kicked off Tuesday with a loud fight over AI in filmmaking, plus a noticeable Hollywood pullback and fresh scrutiny of the industry’s Gaza silence. Festival director Thierry Frémaux warned that unchecked AI could hollow out jobs for writers, actors, translators and voice workers, even floating a future label for films made without AI. French culture politics: Separate from the red carpet, more than 600 cinema figures warned that far-right influence could turn into a “fascist takeover of the collective imagination,” pointing to billionaire Vincent Bolloré’s growing sway. Business watch: Valneva reported Q1 results showing revenues at €30.9m and cash burn easing, while health tech Robocath said it has completed enrollment in its first-in-human robotic PCI study. Local development: El Salvador launched PRODEPORTE II with a $150m CABEI-backed push to rebuild sports venues nationwide.
