France’s New CNC President Gaetan Bruel Speaks Out on Trump’s Proposed Tariff on Foreign-Made Movies and French Industry’s MeToo Reckoning

From this point of view, cinema perhaps shows the limits of an isolationist vision in a totally inter-connected world where, incidentally, the United States is unrivaled in exporting movies. To put it another way, the moving image, which is the greatest gift that the 19th century gave to the 20th, and which was the foundation of a relationship with truth and a certain beauty of the world, today finds itself the agent of a crusade against it. At the same time, employment law has been changed to introduce many new obligations for the producers: in particular to protect children during filming, to regulate scenes of intimacy and casting… So I’d say that this parliamentary committee of inquiry was very welcome.
