"“I don't think politics and arts should be divided,” he said. “I think it's a strange concept to think that they're in conflict with each other. Just because a work of art has a political statement, it should not be considered an enemy of art. At the same time, just because a film is not making a political statement, that film should not be ignored. Even if we are to make a brilliant political statement, if it's not expressed artfully enough, it would just be propaganda.”"
"“heart skipped a beat,” Zhao said she was seeing the experience “almost as coming to a master class with Park,” and Moore said she felt like a “kid getting to play a grown-up.”"
"“Finally. I was so relieved because I didn't die before I got here.”"
"“a TikTok star is interviewing people on the red carpet through Ray-Ban Meta glasses and Mark Zuckerberg's underlings have erected a temporary lair at the Majestic hotel for 'hands-on demos' of their 'latest AI and wearable technologies.'”"
Cannes Film Festival begins with fewer Hollywood films and a new Meta partnership. Red-carpet interviews are conducted by a TikTok star using Ray-Ban Meta glasses, while Meta staff set up a temporary base at the Majestic hotel for hands-on demos of the latest AI and wearable technologies. The festival starts with a press conference featuring the jury members, including Park Chan-wook as jury president and Demi Moore, Chloé Zhao, Stellan Skarsgård, Ruth Negga, Laura Wandel, Diego Céspedes, Isaach De Bankolè, and Paul Laverty. When asked about serving on the jury, members express gratitude and excitement, with Negga describing a sudden emotional reaction, Zhao comparing the experience to a master class, and Moore likening it to playing as a grown-up. Park addresses the relationship between art and politics, rejecting the idea that they should be separated and warning against propaganda that lacks artistic expression.
