Potential Impact of SAG-AFTRA Strike on Galway Film Fleadh
The Galway Film Fleadh, currently taking place in Ireland, may be impacted by the potential SAG-AFTRA strike as the union's National Board meets to decide on a work stoppage. The festival opened with the world premiere of "The Miracle Club" and has another premiere scheduled for Thursday, just hours after the strike vote. Matthew Modine, the lead star of "The Martini Shot," may be unable to attend the premiere if the strike is called. Universal has adjusted the red carpet time for the U.K. premiere of "Oppenheimer" to accommodate potential strike rules. The Galway Film Fair, an industry event, is unlikely to be affected, but the strike is expected to be a topic of discussion. The festival's CEO expressed support for the unions while emphasizing the importance of continuing to bring films to audiences.
