Cannes Protest: Dress and Fake Blood Highlight Ukraine War

Cannes Protest: Dress and Fake Blood Highlight Ukraine War
Published 2 years ago on May 22, 2023

The unidentified young woman used this attention-grabbing act to show support for Ukraine, making her appearance at the premiere of Just Philippot's film 'Acide'.

The woman was pictured pulling a red substance out of her dress at the premiere of the film 'Acide'

Wearing a floor-length blue and yellow ballgown, the protester reached into her dress, pulled out a capsule of fake blood, raised it above her head, and burst it as cameras captured the moment. The motive behind this shocking demonstration is not confirmed, whether it was a condemnation of the Russian invasion of Ukraine or why it occurred during the premiere of the French director's film.

This incident echoes a similar protest that took place at last year's festival, where a Ukrainian woman made a powerful statement against the actions of Vladimir Putin's forces. She appeared on the red carpet fully clothed, later revealing body paint that read 'Stop raping us', adorned with a Ukrainian flag and the word 'Scum' written on her back.
