European Filmmakers Lead New Anti-Trump Movement

In response to Donald Trump's re-election, European filmmakers and cultural institutions are positioning themselves as defenders of progressive values, using cinema to challenge authoritarianism and promote democracy and tolerance. Despite fears of a chilling effect on left-leaning films in the U.S., Europe is seen as a potential haven for such cinema. However, the rise of right-wing governments across Europe poses challenges to this resistance, as state subsidies crucial to the film industry may be threatened.
