FRANCE - MAY 01: During the Cannes Film Festival, French film director Louis MALLE, Italian actress Monica VITTI and French-Polish director Roman POLANSKI (from left to right) walk-and-talk in a street of Cannes after having resigned as jury members as a means of protest. Since May 13, 1968 students have taken control of the Festival: they keep films from being shown, organize meetings to protest against the Minister of Culture Andre MALRAUX's decision to fire Henri LANGLOIS from his position as director of the French film institute. Louis MALLE, Monica VITTI and Roman POLANSKI resign from their respective positions as jury members while Alain RESNAIS, Carlos SAURA and Milos FORMAN take their films out of the competition. The Festival serves so well as an open platform for political debate and controversy that on May 19, one week after its opening, the organisers decide to close it.
