Pro-Nuclear associations have brought a “particularly offensive campaign” against the film RebellionWith Romain Duris and Camille Cottin, accused of amplifying the risks linked to this energy, denounced the company of directors of film directors on Monday.
Released in theaters on September 24, this Pierre Schoeller movie (State exercise) Follow the inclination of a physicist who works in nuclear who cares about the dangers that this energy would increase in case of a climate disaster.
“Discredit Rembrandt”
The film “is the theme of a discreditation campaign organized by associations of pro-Nuclear lobbyists, particularly offensive,” the SRF said in a press release, which evokes “a dedicated website” and towing operations.
The feature film is dissected in a site of the Les Voix Du Nuclear association under the “Disunk Rembrandt” tab, where the alleged falsehoods of the stage are listed and the criticisms against the nuclear industry transmitted by the film.
In a brochure that was distributed in front of the cinemas and that AFP could consult, the same pro-Nuclear association says that it wants to “prevent this film work from becoming an instrument of propaganda at the service of an antinuclear ideology of the 1970s.”
“Our approach is not to attack the film, but to help people who want and who are interested in the question of climate change to distinguish what is fiction and scientific reality,” said Myrto Tripathi, president of the votes of nuclear energy, which is presented as a “Association of Citizens.”
The manager, a former nuclear employee, also ensures that the trailer operation was limited “to three cinemas” the day of the exit.
“A systematic hatred of cinema”
According to the SRF, which brings together some 500 filmmakers, these actions, however, weigh the “pressure” in the directors.
“This type of attack, more and more frequent, can lead to the very disappearance of the author’s concept (…) since it is now suspected that any work is at the service of an ideology,” writes the association.
“We notice on the side of the lobby a systematic hatred of cinema and the freedom of creation, whatever the echo found by the films,” said Julie Fabiani, an attached general delegate of the SRF.
In his first week of operation, Rembrandt fought to find his audience by gathering 41,308 spectators in France.
