Festival director Thierry Fremaux has changed protocol at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival by eliminating morning press screenings of movies before their evening premieres and banning selfies on the red carpet.

In an interview with Film francais magazine, published Friday, Fremaux said he and Cannes festival president Pierre Lescure have decided to "outright forbid" selfies for the 71st edition of the festival, which runs May 8-19, reports hollywoodreporter.com.
