An anti-sexual harassment hotline will be set up for the Cannes film festival in May after disgraced Hollywood tycoon Harvey Weinstein was accused of committing sex attacks during past festivals.
“We have set up a partnership with the Cannes film festival to tackle sexual harassment,” Schiappa said on 26 April.
The Cannes film festival runs 8-19 May.
“One of the rapes that Harvey Weinstein is accused of happened at Cannes, and so the festival cannot not act,” the minister said.
