A massive power outage has severely disrupted the Cannes Film Festival, coinciding with its final day and the anticipated awards ceremony. Authorities suspect foul play, including sabotage and possible arson, as evidence suggests that power transmission poles were deliberately damaged. The blackout has affected not only the festival activities but also the broader region, leaving many without essential services such as internet and hot meals. Despite the challenges, festival organizers remain committed to continuing the closing ceremony, with the city of Cannes gradually restoring electricity.
