A power outage in southeast France has disrupted the final day of the Cannes Film Festival, with authorities investigating suspected arson as the cause. The outage affected around 160,000 households and left some shops along the Croisette closed. However, festival organizers confirmed that all scheduled events and screenings, including the Palme d’Or ceremony, would proceed as planned. The power was restored hours before the ceremony, and music was again playing from beachfront speakers as the blackout ended. Authorities are working to identify and track down those responsible for the damage.
