Reminder that Jean-Luc Godard once got the Cannes Film Festival canceled. In 1968, as student and worker protests swept across France, Godard alongside François Truffaut led filmmakers in shutting the festival down in solidarity. They argued it was impossible to celebrate cinema while the country was in political turmoil. The festival was canceled midway through, no prizes were awarded, and it became a major turning point for political filmmaking in France. | The Cinegogue
