History

Historical Context

In May 1968, Cannes halted after two days when thousands of demonstrators led by director Jean-Luc Godard and actress Brigitte Bardot demanded artistic freedom and an end to commercial constraints. The unrest led to charter changes that eased dress codes and expanded jury autonomy. The 2026 controversy over Demi Moore’s slit Jacquemus gown on the Cannes jury echoes that legacy, showing rule enforcement sparks debate.
