During a press conference at the Berlin International Film Festival, jury president Todd Haynes expressed concerns about the impact of the Trump presidency on American filmmakers. Haynes highlighted the sense of crisis and shock felt by many individuals in the U.S. and globally, particularly in the wake of President Trump's second term.
Haynes suggested that the Trump administration's actions have created a climate of destabilization and shock, leading to uncertainty about how different forms of resistance will evolve. He noted that even individuals who supported Trump may become disillusioned over his perceived inability to provide economic stability.
