A Tuesday evening press screening of Pedro Almodóvar’s Cannes competition film “Bitter Christmas” in the Bazin theater at the Palais des Festivals is interrupted due to a medical emergency, according to multiple reports. The screening, part of the festival’s press program, is paused part way through so emergency services can assist an attendee. Variety and Deadline both report that the incident involves one of the people present and that the venue is temporarily evacuated during the response. The Cannes press office confirms that the screening is stopped while medical staff attend to the individual. A festival statement cited by the outlets says a person suffers a medical incident at the screening, prompting the interruption and the involvement of emergency services. After the assistance is provided, the situation is managed as part of the festival’s standard procedures for emergencies during events. No additional details about the attendee’s condition are included in the reports provided.
