A sudden power outage struck Southern France, causing significant disruption during the highly anticipated finale of the Cannes Film Festival. The blackout affected the main screening venue, delaying the final film presentation and the subsequent awards ceremony.
Officials reported that the outage was due to a technical fault in the local power grid. Emergency generators were quickly deployed, allowing the event to resume, but the interruption impacted the flow of the evening’s program and the experience for attendees and viewers worldwide.
Festival organizers expressed regret over the interruption but praised the swift response from power authorities and event staff in managing the situation and ensuring safety. The festival’s closing night eventually proceeded with the award announcements taking place several hours later than scheduled.
This incident marks a rare disruption in the festival’s history and highlights the challenges of hosting high-profile events reliant on stable infrastructure.
