The Cannes Film Festival has suffered a power outage this morning. But don't worry, the music began playing just before opening, and about 160,000 locals had their power restored again.
“We are looking into the likelihood of a fire being started deliberately,” said a police spokesperson for the French national gendarmerie.
In a statement, Laurent Hottiaux, the prefect of the Alpes-Maritimes department, condemned “serious acts of damage to electrical infrastructures”
“All resources are mobilized to identify, track down, arrest and bring to justice the perpetrators of these acts,” said Hottiaux.
“All scheduled events and screenings, including the Closing Ceremony, will proceed as planned and under normal conditions,” the statement said. “At this stage, the cause of the outage has not yet been identified. Restoration efforts are underway.”
It appears someone sabotaged the 'elite' film festival.
