The Cannes Film Festival will proceed even after a power outage across France shut down its Cineum theater.
A suspicious fire hit the city of Cannes with a widespread loss of power Saturday morning — just hours ahead of the film festival’s closing ceremony.
Several movies were wiped from the schedule, but the majority of the iconic event, including the final bash, will not be affected because organizers swiftly found an alternative power source.
”A power outage is currently affecting the city of Cannes and surrounding areas,” the festival said in a statement shared with The Post.
”The Palais des Festivals has switched to an independent power supply, allowing all scheduled events and screenings, including the Closing Ceremony, to proceed as planned and under normal conditions.
