The protests are being led by the group known as Sous Les Écrans La Dèche: Collectif Des Précaires Des Festivals De Cinéma (which translates to Under The Screens, The Waste: The Collective of Precarious Workers at Film Festivals). The name is a reference to the famous slogan of the May ‘68 protests: “Sous les pavés, la plage” (Under paving stones, the beach).
