Cannes boss Thierry Fremaux addressed Trump’s proposed tariff of 100% on foreign-produced movies and the resilience of American cinema at his press conference on Monday. Fremaux said that if he could talk to Trump directly, he would tell him that “foreign films nourish the American imagination and culture.” “But I don’t think that’s really his thing,” he continued, adding that Cannes “won’t let anyone prevent cinema from being strong and creative.” Amid escalating tensions between French and U.S. industries over the issue of European investment quotas which the DGA and MPA have blamed for hurting U.S. production and causing unemployment in separate memos addressed to the U.S. Trade Representative, Fremaux praised the breadth of American movies playing in the lineup.
