“Cinema is seriously short of funds as people go to the movies less and less. Well-known people have always come to highlight this event and the cinema (such as top models Bella Hadid, etc.), to invite people to discover new films, to walk around the cinemas in this way and to keep the cinema alive. The festival also needs financial partners to survive, and today these partners need to be featured thanks to influencers or celebrities stepping on the carpet. (…) And in 2023, as you said, influencers have the power to present this to millions of people in a fraction of a second. That’s why they call them“, shared in the story.
