Cannes festival defends decision to honour French actor Delon A year after vowing "zero tolerance with sexual harassment or abuse of any kind", Cannes Film Festival director Thierry Fremaux has included Abdellatif Kechiche as part of its official selection, despite the Franco-Tunisian film director currently being under investigation for sexually assault on a young actress. He has also defended the decision to honour French actor Alain Delon, who has in the past made controversial comments about homosexuality and slapping women. SOUNDBITE
