The SAG-AFTRA strikes have taken Hollywood by storm and affected it in more ways than one as their impact has affected global film festivals. Latest reports claim that high-profile stars like Riz Ahmed will be skipping the Locarno Film Festival, while Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgard, despite attending, will not accept his award in solidarity with the strikers.
Previously, the Venice Film Festival was affected much in the same way as several high-profile stars, directors and producers refused to attend. According to an international publication, Ahmed, best known for his roles in films like Venom and Sound of Metal, was set to receive the Davide Campari Excellence Award at Locarno. But now, he will be giving the festival a miss.
