Vivek Agnihotri, Nandita Das Shares Discontent On Cannes Film Festival: It바카라s A Festival Of Films, Not Of Clothes

The two filmmakers feel the Cannes Film Festival is now more fixated on glamour, leaving behind the true essence of cinema.

The ongoing 76th edition of the Cannes Film Festival has certainly captivated the audience across the globe, and several Indian celebrities have impressed their fans with their sartorial picks. While some embraced traditional Indian looks, others showcased more modern red carpet looks. Nonetheless, several Indian luminaries have made their dazzling debut at the prestigious Cannes stage.

However, despite all the festivities, two Indian filmmakers 바카라 Vivek Agnihotri, Nandita Das, have shared their discontent on the Cannes festival and mentioned how the event is now fixated on fashion, thereby leaving the true essence of cinema somewhat behind.

Renowned actor-turned-director Nandita Das, whose 바카라Manto바카라 (2018) was screened at the 71st edition of the Cannes Film Festival in the 바카라Un Certain Regard바카라 section and, recently shared pictures from her previous Cannes appearances on Instagram, and wrote, 바카라Sadly missing Cannes this year.바카라

But she added, 바카라Sometimes people seem to forget that it is a festival of films and not of clothes! Considering I can바카라t show you the amazing films I watched or the conversations I have had or take you back in time when Manto premiered there. Here are a few images through the years in Cannes. And only the ones in Saris as there is a fair amount of chatter about the 바카라celebrities who wore saree in Cannes바카라. Well, it is surely my go-to garment. Simple, elegant and Indian. Least fussy 바카라 easy to get in and get out of it!바카라

바카라Each of the images has an interesting story behind it but is too long to share. So feel free to make up your own story from the photos you see. And guess the year they are from 바카라 2005, 20013, 2016-2018.바카라

Similarly, sharing a photo of Bombay Times바카라 ShowBiz page, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri expressed his grievance on the demise of the Cannes Film Festival, as he termed it.

바카라So sad to see the death of the Cannes Film Festival. Most of these are not even actors or have any film showing at Cannes. Films are replaced with fashion. Actors with SM influencers. Film Journalism with바카라 you know what바카라 And FILMMAKERS바카라 who cares about them? Om Shanti,바카라 he tweeted. 

Cannes, which is the world's biggest film festival, was first conceived in 1939 as an alternative to the Venice Film Festival. This year바카라s festival began on May 16 and will run till May 27.
