The union of cinema producers announced this morning that children will now have to be accompanied on set. The obligation will result from the fact that the National Center for Cinema and Animated Images will not issue aid to films which do not respect this rule.
The measure comes in the wake of the indictment of two directors for rape and sexual assault by actress Judith Godrèche, when she was a minor. At the start of the week, ten actresses also accused director Philippe Lioret of inappropriate behavior in a professional context. The objective: to protect miners from excesses on the plateaus. Valérie Lépine, general delegate of the union of film producers, says she is “very confident” that this measure will be applied quickly The wish of all professionals is that this obligation comes into force as quickly as possible, says Valéri Lé Pine. The position will become compulsory for all children under 16 who are working on a film, she adds.
