  • The event included a #MeToo policy barring an actor accused of rape from attending the red carpet and premiered a documentary on Palestinian photojournalist Fatima Hassouna.
  • Tom Cruise narrowly avoided serious injury during a South Africa stunt, with a US filmmaker stating, 'We could not tell if he was conscious or not,' while the closing day saw a power outage lasting over five hours.
  • The festival’s incidents highlighted industry pressures on safety, inclusion, and political issues, while the power cut was blamed on suspected sabotage near a local substation.
