An Instagram post thanking Cannes Film Festival director Thierry Frémaux for including Harvey Weinstein’s “friend” Alexandra Vino at a premiere party is raising further questions about his ongoing connections to the festival, despite the convicted producer being jailed in the United States.
“Thank you dear @thierry.fremaux and @festivaldecannes for a lovely evening,” wrote Vino in an Instagram post on Monday, adding the hashtag “#Rumours,” the title of the film by Guy Maddin and Evan and Galen Johnson that premiered out of competition on Saturday night.
Vino had been dating Weinstein during his trial, and last year took prison calls from him while in Cannes, according to an individual who spoke to TheWrap who was present at the time.
