Under the terms of the strike, union members are prohibited from filming or promoting past, present or future productions. Celebrity attendance at the Venice Film Festival could have been considered a “scab” (i.e., a violation of the rules) had it not been granted an interim exemption.

SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) are both at an impasse over contract negotiations with AMPTP regarding streaming residuals, fair wages, and artificial intelligence.
