Protesters have stormed the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival in protest against femicide, days after a woman upstaged VIPs with a topless protest against rapes in Ukraine.
At the premiere of Holy Spider on Sunday, a group of women let off black smoke and held their fists in the air as they unfurled a banner listing the “129 femicides since the last Cannes festival” in an apparent reference to the number of domestic killings in France.
