Woody Allen is still holding on to his innocence. He’s still denying any or all charges of molestation against him. He is moving forward to do what he was born to do – make movies. His latest film, ‘Coupe De Chance,’ had its world premiere at this year’s Venice Film Festival.

The accusations haven’t affected his artistry, as the festival invited him to screen his movie. However, the glorious celebration of films was darkened by the protests. While Allen’s film was screening, a group of people were shaming the festival for allowing Woody Allen’s career to flourish.
