I’m not very happy to read this, readers:

I’ve always wanted to wear high heels, but my disability makes this impossible. I know disabled filmmakers in wheelchairs.

What message do reports like these send to them, and to disabled viewers like me?

Is it a message that a global institution like the Cannes Film Festival really wants to send out?

What are you thinking?
