Current political events confront us with the concrete possibility of the far right coming to power within a few weeks.

Such an outcome would deeply divide our country and encourage mistrust and hatred of the Other, suppress all forms of protest, discriminate against and oppress minorities, set back the rights of women and LGBTQI+ people, and continue to deepen social inequalities.

As image professionals, as workers in the cultural sector in its broadest sense, we cannot contemplate this possibility without reacting.
The world the far right would impose on us is contrary to the values of humanism, openness and tolerance that we uphold within our association and that we defend through our work as image-makers.

The Union of Cinematographers calls on all citizens to vote for the candidates of the Nouveau Front Populaire (New Popular Front) in the upcoming legislative elections.

Let us not give up. Let us mobilise. Let us vote.
