Canal Plus Blacklists Film Professionals Over Far-Right Allegations

Published 2 days, 11 hours ago
Description

Maxime Saada, head of Canal Plus, has decided to sever ties with hundreds of film professionals following a petition accusing Vincent Bolloré, the main shareholder, of promoting a far-right agenda through his media empire. This move, reminiscent of McCarthyism, could significantly impact the French film industry and future productions. The petition, signed by prominent figures like Juliette Binoche, expressed concern over the growing influence of the far right in French cinema. Saada viewed the petition as an attack on his teams and Canal Pluss independence. Bollorés extensive media holdings, including CNews and Europe 1 radio, have been criticized for amplifying far-right voices. The situation has sparked a public debate about Bollorés alleged attempt to control the entire production chain in media.
