Occupy Cannes! // Get Punk'd

Beginning in 1974, Lloyd Kaufman and the Troma Team have been attending the Cannes Film Festival to promote their movies, share the joy of independent art, and protest media consolidation. Renowned for using guerilla tactics and provocative artistry to sell films, Troma’s audacious performances spark both controversy and curiosity. Occupy Cannes documents their return to Cannes for the first time in a decade to promote their new film Return to Nuke Em High Vol. 1—the continuation of their renowned Class of Nuke ‘Em High —with staged stunts, Troma-rrific costumes, and DIY messaging. Shot and directed by Lloyd Kaufman’s daughters Lily-Hayes and Charlotte Kaufman, and starring Lloyd himself and Troma fans from around the world!
