“To date, the Cannes film festival has not reported any requests. No means from these five million will be allocated to the Cannes festival, “said AFP the office of the president of the region Paca Renaud Muselier, who stresses that this aid will be allocated” according to who needs and who doesn ‘don’t need’.
