Security personnel turned away Canadian Indigenous filmmaker Kelvin Redvers at a red carpet screening at Cannes earlier this week.
Kristen Stewart removed her Christian Louboutins on the red carpet in 2018 to protest the unspoken requirement that women wear high heels.
Redvers, who is a member of the Dene nation, was wearing traditional moccasins to the black-tie only event.
After receiving a formal complaint from Canada’s Indigenous Screen Office, Cannes representatives met with Redvers and invited him to attend the red carpet of David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future in the moccasins that had been previously disallowed.
