President Trump's effect on filmmakers' “integrity and perspective” is a question that the longtime director argued on Thursday was “hanging over all American filmmakers.”
Chairman of the Berlin International Film Festival Jue Todd Haynes warned reporters At a press conference, people have been in a “state of crisis globally and globally in the United States since the start of President Donald Trump's second term.”

Haynes argued that even those who voted for Trump were “quickly disillusioned” with the inability to provide “economic stability.” However, he was even more concerned about how this would affect “financers who are willing to take risks and support strong voices.”
“How President Trump's revival affects filmmaking is a real issue that falls on all American filmmakers,” Haynes said. “And that's a question that extends beyond the world of filmmaking. How do you maintain your own integrity and perspective and talk about the issues around us… I haven't seen it yet.”

I think Americans always hear that we are a divided country,” Nicholson said. “I feel that some people in my country agree that they just want to feel security, healthcare security, home security. [and] There is dignity in their lives. I want to see people in my country realize they should unite [against] People trying to divide us in America. ”
Haynes openly criticised Trump at the Berlin International Film Festival, but other similar festivals were less political than in the past.
