The prestigious #Cannes #Film #Festival will premiere of the film #PortAuthority this year. The #MartinScorsese backed project, which stars @leynabloom in her first major acting role, will mark the first time that a film with a #trans #womanofcolor as lead #actress premieres at the event in the festival’s 72-year history. “For me this is really like that Halle Berry moment when she won that #Oscar for Monster’s Ball — I know that it’s a moment that should have happened a long time ago,” Bloom told @outmagazine ” When I first heard that we were premiering at Cannes, I really had to think about all of the women that paved the way that should have also gone, all the women who could have been in a movie and could have played a role like this.” #woc #hollywood #lqbtq https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.out.com/film/2019/4/18/leyna-bloom-port-authority-cannes-premiere%3famp https://www.instagram.com/p/BwZjKUugwp2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f7m2vx5mhaxb
