- A Vancouver-based Indigenous film producer says he was made to feel like a criminal after being turned away from the red carpet at the Cannes film festival - despite being invited to walk it.
His “crime” was wearing traditional moccasins with his tuxedo.
Kelvin Redvers, who is from the Northwest Territories and works in B.C., says he hopes the incident is a learning moment for event organizers. Richard Zussman has more.

Those who oppose him should learn that the red carpet is on their indigenous country which we should respected.
Ikr, power to my people.
he makes an excellent point and its ridiculous and shameful how he was treated
I fully agree. Everyone should be able to wear their traditional clothing or a piece of their clothing if it's part of their culture and not have to worry about being harassed.
@@BakedPotato13 what makes him exempt from the dress code?
@@Andre8686 Dress code ? There have been women barely covered or wearing the most hideously ugly outfit etc but it's moccasins that are "unacceptable" ? Really? smdh
@@shari9721 There's a dress code. He wasn't conforming. End of story. Stop crying.
Strategically planned on his part to gain attention. That's why he purposely didn't put them on until he was through security. The situation could have easily been avoided if only he had requested in advance since the Cannes do have a dress code.
Bizzare. Just shows you how elitist it is. Disgusting. A sari would pass, a kilt, it's just elitist bull.
@@plantbasedstrong2363 OH, so he just needed permission to wear mocassins for security reasons? Are you saying that everyone attending has to get security permission for what they wear.? Finding that a stretch.
they allow women to dress cheap and ugly and not allow him to show his culture. hypocrite all of them completely
It happens in a nation promoting diversity , equality and democracy?
Regardless of what a nation will try there are always racist ignorant people in positions of power and authority. Our opposition party in Canada does it all the time because their are many Canadians who oppose diversity and inclusion because they are weak and threatened by it.
So really what was their problem? They allow women walking on the red carpet half naked and that's ok but God forbid it if a person wants to represent his/ her culture. I am standing by you and you stick to your guns! Don't feel like a criminal the crime was theirs! I am very upset!
No you're not.
@@QwadLuzr and who are you to tell me how I feel about it or similar situations like this?
@@Stella1112 I'm just saying you're lying. A nothingburger story about some guy and his shoes did not make you genuinely upset. You are virtue signalling on social media, is the truth. Correct?
@@QwadLuzr it’s not a “nothingburger” story if you’ve ever been racially profiled. 😐 Other people have had different experiences that you may not have had, that cause them to empathize w different news stories. Your experience isn’t universal.
@@__rm307 Who says it's "racial profiling"? Only those who seek to find racism in everything. Could have been something as simple as footwear vs public liability insurance. This story is meaningless. It's the very definition of a nothingburger. And if you're so easily duped into seeing implied racism in everything, then I suggest your brain is a nothingburger.
I'm glad the hierarchy at Cannes showed some common sense and invited him back, with moccasins, the next day. Cause it's acceptable for women to expose various parts of their anatomy at Cannes and it's considered 'fashionable' and acceptable, but this man, looking classy in a tux while wearing moccasins to highlight his indigenous heritage, is considered to be unacceptably attired. !!!
I'm sorry this happened. So much yet to do to be inclusive and accepting to all.
Strategically planned on his part to gain attention. That's why he purposely didn't put them on until he was through security. The situation could have easily been avoided if only he had requested in advance since the Cannes do have a dress code.
Yes, like having a dialogue.
how fcking weird and strange would you have to be to call out someone for something like this with that much negative energy, they're nothing like me not down to earth at ALL
awful, I'm so sorry they did that to you!
Half of what these women are wearing now a days at these events are inappropriate anyway so what’s the difference? Sounds like discrimination to me!
That’s terrible they turned them away for wearing moccasins. Moccasins are great! I wear a pair everyday everywhere. The best place to wear them is a Red Carpet event!🦌💌❤️
Nope ,,, save them for the reservation
When in Rome do as the Romans do!!
@@babagandu how about you save your ignorance and racism for the clan meeting ? smdh
@@samirmohareb1610 hi sadeek, how is the home
That's crazy I remember Kristen Stewart took off her dress shoes and walk barefooted on the red carpet Selena Gomez took off a shoe because she couldn't fit fit them and walk barefoot it at the academy awards so what's up with that
Holy shoe batman, they were upset over your shoes? No worries you can wear them at the PNE after all, the biggest shoe was at the PNE and made the newspaper while I was in the hospital having her sister. Nothing wrong with moccasins! they could apologize but they won't. and oh, by the way, my dad wore a kilt at his own third wedding! You got style!
Is everything now a competition to see who’s the biggest victim?
Yes
Just can't seem to keep your racism hidden I guess.
I mean... they can enforce whatever dress code they want, it wasn't about your culture it was about wearing dress shoes...
Exactly 💯 💯
Western culture and values..i love when they speak to others how civilized they are..lol
Shame on them!
Not possible. Only America is racist. Nowhere in France are there racists.
Disgraceful! I am so appalled, especially when I see the amount of senseless skin being displayed on the red carpet.
This is blown out of proportion.
How so? On behalf of the man screening & policing people at the entrance center, hell yes!
It will happen again. FYI
That is ridiculous
I don’t follow Cannes , but how different is it that, I’m assuming, women can wear different styles of dress. Whats wrong with different style of footwear?
It's a formal black tie event, for men the dress code is very simple. This loser tried to sneak his slippers in and got called out for it.
That’s the French for you
unacceptable!!!
Wow Hollywood is so twisted. So many questionable outfits have been allowed on red carpet events
Cannes Film Festival is in France and it mostly features non-hollywood films, most of which are foreign. The programmers and people who run the festival all reside in France.
Slow news cycle?
Was he offended 😱???
This is news!
Low level Elitist: Sir , your fashion statement isn't going to sell. It's old fashioned. Get out
High Level Elitist: Sir, excuse our new member. You may pass
That’s pathetic
this is just disgusting
It is part of his heritage, he should be allowed to wear what he wants. Besides, his moccasins are very pretty
He (or anyone) should be allowed to wear what they want even if it isn't a part of their heritage.
@@SpreadGuts Not to an event with a dress code. Rules are for everyone, not just some people....
Strategically planned on his part to gain attention. That's why he purposely didn't put them on until he was through security. The situation could have easily been avoided if only he had requested in advance since the Cannes do have a dress code.
@@christopherduerksen have you seen some of the outfits they wear? It's 😱😱😱😱
@@MsStormyRose21 All dresses/gowns are approved in advance and none of them are purposely snuck through security.
I'm not against him wearing he's moccasins. I'm against how he went about it.
WHAT!??
To be entitled, rules don’t apply to me, I’m indigenous.
We are looking for respect of our Indigenous culture (as all peoples are), it’s not entitlement. To look at it that way speaks volumes of your mindset. It’s not okay for a kilt to be accepted and beautiful moccasins are deemed unacceptable. It was unfair treatment and they never should have turned him away for wearing his moccasins, which are actually pieces of artwork and represent his cultural heritage.
At least they got it right the 2nd time around.
Yup. And yet the headline/title/thumbnail make it seem like he was never allowed in.
Lady gaga can wear a meat dress and he cant wear shoes. Tf. It's not that serious people. We can do better people.
With attitude s like that, it's not worth attending.
Thats crazy this world is evil i hope he is ok and people speak up
Wow 😮
This is so small. Sad.
What a joke ! Why didn’t he put on a full formal 1st Nations outfit ! What is he 1/10 Indian ?
No flip flop with socks….👎
This is so odd... It's like highschool dress code rules... Who thought this was a good idea...
Culture discrimination this is extremely disgusting
its footwear discrimination
So much freedom of expression from the West😉
So much for tolerance and acceptance of the different in the countries of "democracy". Nothing new in the west.
The French gonna French. Disappointing. they’d better apologize better
Moccasins are not traditional dress wear. Just another example of an Indian thinking they're allowed to do whatever they want.
Your all being lead astray
Strategically planned on his part to gain attention. That's why he purposely didn't put them on until he was through security. The situation could have easily been avoided if only he had requested in advance since the Cannes do have a dress code.
I never cared about this stupid red carpet tradition anyway... who started it
It seams to me that these last four years have sold out every cause and that we all need to review who we are supporting. Especially if the organization affiliation began before Covid.
WOW I couldn't believe it's shame on them they should apology to all people can wear whatever their culture we never heard before
Its a private event you doofus.
Damn, this is global news..?
Theyre just foot coverings.
ok
Awesome, super
This is still our land.
Indigenous Daniel Cumberbatch?
I'd go barefoot next time on principle.
If he'd have showed up in a ball gown that would have been ok. But no to his traditional moccasins. Would love to see them take on my turban.
You are allowed to express yourself but maybe not at a prestigious event .
welcome to france
Terrible
Soo Kim Kartrashians can wear Marilyn Monroe's dress that was clearly to small , she could not Zip it up the back nor could she hardly walk in it wore a fur jacket draping down the back to cover her open back side and people near and far praises her yet this young man could not wear a something representing his culture/heritage and was turned away!?! Make it make sense please ! Yup once again I know for sure this world has flipped upside down 🤨
Sad! Very sad! Shame on Cannes! It should not have come to this.
It wasn't Cannes, it was one racist weakling. In Canada we have an opposition party full of them but it doesn't make Canada racist.
Dress code is dress code Olympics are Olympics Oscars are Oscars leave your culture and politics at home
Theres a dress code at the Oscars?! you nutts bud!
@@patrickdebellefeuille4196 its like the traditional no shirt no shoes no service butter cup needs to suck it up nobody's culture is any better than any one else's and some of these political virtue signallers can leave they're crap back at home in Canada where nobody shud be any more special than any one else
Bring another thing from you're culture a 48 pack of Molson Canadian 🍺🍺
You know nothing about the Indigenous culture! Just so you know, the indigenous people were introduced to alcohol by the white race!!! Oh, another thing, as a Canadian, the slang for a 24 pk of beer is a "two/four pk" not 48 pack! Get it right dude!
@@jokejoke2883 yeah but you took it and have been running with it ever since.
The moccasins looked lovely.
So they literally have fashion police over there in France. This is insulting on so many levels. I'm glad they had a talking to, AND rectified the situation quickly, but it never should have happened in the first place.
BTW I am a First Nations man. We have had enough discrimination in the past. It still happens today, but there is also a surging of sympathy for what we went through and a genuine wanting to rectify it :) I am a proud Canadian, AND Cree Nation man. I would not have changed my footwear, and complained until I was let in. It is much more than footwear, we have already had enough wiping out of our culture. My mom is a Residential School Survivor. I would not dishonor her by willingly removing my rightful heritage.
Maybe he should have worn the appropriate attire, like everyone else. If you dont like the dress code, you can find someplace else to be.
@@derekwoodford9955 It is no more or less appropriate than a woman wearing a revealing dress, or slacks. He did wear a mostly appropriate suit. Just the footwear was different.
Are you suggesting he go back to the Reserve where he belongs? ..like everybody else who wears moccasins? Where it is appropriate?
@@Joxman2k There was a dress code and he wasn't complying. Why do you feel he can wear whatever he wants?
Yes we all feel sorry for FN like we feel sorry for helpless puppies who are abandoned on the streets.
@@mrbill4206 The last thing I want is for someone to feel sorry for me. I find your comment demeaning. If you do not understand pain, by the plight we found ourselves in, then you would probably kick that puppy and laugh. I could be wrong. It is either that or you are just ignorant to what happened.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Day late dollar short
Luv it..they will promote every movement but Indigenous ones..🖐😁💯👍✋💪
Shame on Canne Festival

Good don't over share the culturw anyway's.
Lmfao this is so woke 😂
And that is what racism looks like, IS! 😅
This is Racialism.
Get over it. Follow the dresscode. The French aren't used to cowtow to the indigenous like us Canadians.
💪👍🇨🇦❤️
From the country where there is little outrage and no accountability for mass graves of children. I guess everyone can feel all warm inside knowing he got to wear his moccasins.
What mass graves? Can you show proof of these? Even the MSM is admitting all they have are POSSIBLE graves which may very well be tree roots.
@@TheRealCartman1 Are you daft. They are in the process of digging them up and relocating the bodies to their homes. That was in Harper's denial where he refused the radar. They are dragging their feet on giving them permits. Sure is amazing how tree roots where there are no trees show piles in order like graves. Your racism has infected your mind. You don't want to lose your denial.
What mass graves? Where?
@@TheRealCartman1 On July 15, 2021 a child's rib bone was dug up after using radar. They found addition graves. It wasn't a "tree root" it was a kid's rib from a buried body. So again, sell your tree root racists lies elsewhere.
@@kowanut1 Mass graves of Indigenous children that attended residential schools here in Canada (it was forced on them for the most part). Look it up if you need to. It’s beyond sad and its not that far in the past either so the hurt is strong
Sounds about white
Get the feeling someone wearing a dirty, oil stained t-shirt would’ve been turned away too.
What a no story
*Because of the economic crisis and rate of unemployment, now is the best time to invest and make money💯*
Well said!💯👍
Because of the economic crisis that always comes up, the best thing to be on every wise individual's mind or list is to invest in a variety of income streams that's not dependent on the government to generate funds.
I've always wanted to trade crypto but got confused by the fluctuations in price
@@sarahmoore6693 I'd recommend Jeffery Brian, he's the best I know when it comes to trading cry'pto.
I've heard a lot about investments with Mr. Jeffery Brian, please how safe are the profits?
Okay so they officially apologized and brought him back and he wore them. This shouldn’t be a story.
Oh my oath, you missed the point! He should never have been asked to leave to begin with!!! WOW!!!
@@jokejoke2883 He wasn't complying to the dress code. Why would they let him in?
Nice moccasins. Shoulda just called ahead and presented your case then it was up to Cannes organizers to say yes or no. After all it's a French cultural event and a pretty elitist one at that. Regardless, it's their culture, their tradition and their decision.
Should not have to call and ask permission to wear elaborate, beautiful pieces of artwork from your own culture. He looked debonair and appropriate for an event. They were wrong to turn him away. Right is right and wrong is just plain wrong.
I agree moccasins looked great and I wouldn't care if he wore them to an awards show like Cannes. But it's not my award show or my culture, ie, French culture, to dictate too. I feel my suggestion is not so outlandish. In any case feel free to make your argument to the Cannes festival organizers and the French Ministry of Culture.
Blame trump
and Cornpop
*Sure !!! Dumb Stump Donald Trump is guilty of everything, especially of being a dumb, and calling for more automatic guns in the USA.*
Blame Putin 😂
He knew it would be a problem to begin with. He even said he got past the first security checkpoint and then switched to the moccasins but was then stopped at the 2nd security checkpoint. He should have cleared this ahead of time because he knew it would be a problem but instead he tried to slip past security and got called out for it. Sure, he should be allowed to wear his traditional moccasins but he should also respect the traditions of the festival and make sure he talked to them about it first so staff would be aware and there would not have been a problem.
Excuse my ignorance but what exactly are the 'traditions of the festival?'
@@Mumbo_Jumbo_Kiwi.1 Formal dress, tuxedos, etc. It's a good idea to make sure it's not going to be a problem by contacting organizers ahead of time. You will notice when he spoke to them ahead of time before attending the second time, they were (mostly) aware of the situation and other than the one person who tried to stop him (who was overruled by his superior) he had no problems. I still contend he should have been allowed and eventually was allowed to wear the moccasins but if you deviate from the expected norm then expect some push back.
@@Mumbo_Jumbo_Kiwi.1 giving awards to movies no one really likes?
The point is that he shouldn't have even needed to ahead and clear anything, to begin with.
His moccasins are formal attire though and have been so in this hemisphere far longer than any red carpet traditions.
Why does he feel he can wear whatever he wants when there is a dress code? Also, he is in France and to a french person they would look like slippers. Of course he would be turned away. It's got nothing to do with racism or closed-mindedness. It's somewhat shocking how entitled some are to think that they are above rules.
Easy big boy. Don't trip over your racism so blatantly. If it was right why did they apologize and correct it? It's because they had a racist coward like you calling the shots that day, not because it's the rules.
A logical reply but it doesn't allow the MSM to push claims of racism so they don't like it.
Good point. I guess he thought Justin's "indigenous reconciliation" initiative extends outside the country's borders.
@@typoprone I guess France didn't get the memo
My heart goes out to the liberals who made the decision to keep the indigenous foot wear OUT of the Cannes film festival because it's so hard to let go of old ways. After all, it was Democrats who started the KKK in America and Democrats who voted AGAINST the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Some habits are just hard to break!
1964? At least some people realize they need to change their ways.
0/10 trolling skills.
Try again.
I always enjoy reading comments from the extremely stupid...thanks for posting hangfire. You didn’t disappoint. (Try learning some history beyond 1964) Didn’t take long for the republicans to pick up the mantle of racism. Yesterday’s Democrats are today’s republicans.
What do the Democrats, KKK, etc, have to do with the Cannes festival held in Cannes, France? Completely unrelated. 😂
Today, the kkk often come in the form of internet trolls
Dress code
How do you get to hell?
Very simple: claim that you're innocent.
How do you get to heaven?
Very simple: Admit that you're not Innocent, you're guilty and ask for mercy.
How to know if you're guilty or not?
Simply: Compare your life to the Ten Commandments God gave you in the Bible.
Everyone agrees that if people followed the ten commandments there would be no need for governments or police.
Do not lie.
Do not steal.
Do not commit adultery.
Do not insult God by using his name as a cuss word.
There are six more but let's just leave it at that.
How many lies have you told in your life?
Have you ever taken anything that didn't belong to you?
Jesus said, if you look at a women lustfully you've already committed adultery in your heart with that woman.
How many times a day do you do that?
Do you use God's name as a cuss word?
Would you do that with your own mother's name?
If you answer these questions honestly you know that you're guilty.
God can justly punish you and send you to hell.
Ask him for mercy.
His name is Jesus.
It's as simple as this, The Ten Commandments are called the moral law. You and I broke God's laws. Jesus paid the fine.
The fine is death.
Ezekiel 18:20 -
"The soul who sins shall die.
That's why Jesus had to die on the cross for our sins. This is why God is able to give us Mercy.
Option A.
You die for your own sins.
Option B.
Ask for mercy and accept that Jesus died for you.

Amen
I wanted a car so I thought I should pray for one but I know god does not work that way. So I stole a car and asked for forgiveness.
@DOo SOMETHING yes that was likely his Hebrew name. But his disciples wrote down his name 900 times and they never bothered to use it in Hebrew. His Hebrew name is not important.
@@ddpeter4444
Do you want an answer?
Or would you prefer to pass@w@y and decompose into dirt than live under the moral authority of God?
@@brianhale3678 Well god does not give me much choice, does he? He says we have "free choice" to worship him and if not we will burn in hell for eternity, because he loves us. Seems pretty petty for an all knowing, all seeing, omnipotent god to punish you for all eternity because you don't bow down to him. Maybe if he took the time to reveal himself to EVERYONE he would get better compliance, but for some reason he remains hidden. I know the "saved" say they have found him but in reality they have just convinced themselves. Acceptance without any sort of tangible proof is just superstition. And what about all the other religions in the world, are they all wrong and are you the only one that is right? Some religions have people kill themselves they believe so strongly.
So if you are asking what I choose, I will decompose in the dirt and provide nourishment for the plants that have provided nourishment for me during my lifetime.
Just like heels and hair to a woman 👞 a d suits fit men
This stunt was just another way to get attention. Isn't attention what it's all about?
Haha wear real shoes
He wore a tux but just couldn't go full paleface.
how about wooden shoes? I think the moccasins were beautiful but perhaps, for Cannes, there might have been a shoe creation designed to fuse both cultures.
