As the 79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival gets underway on Tuesday, 600 professionals from the French film industry, including directors, actors, technicians and producers, have published an inflammatory article in the French newspaper Libération.
In it, they denounce what they describe as the_"tentacular and ideological_" hold ofVincent Bolloré over the French film industry. They warn of a growing concentration of media and cultural power in the hands of the Breton billionaire.
