will be postponed to late June, organizers addressed frequently asked questions, such as why it chose to delay the event rather than cancel it.
“When the moment comes for us to all get ourselves back on our feet, to welcome festival goers, show films, open the theatres to the entire world, meet the artists, the journalists, the professionals and welcome those for whom seeing the creation, distribution and production coming back to life is important, the Festival must be ready,” Cannes organizers said.
Cannes said, “ultimately, it is the public authorities – The ministry of Health, the ministry of the interior, the Alpes-Maritimes regional authority, and the Cannes City Council — who will give the green light, just as they authorised us to announce a possible deferment.” The festival won’t be able to announce the new dates until it gets clarity on when the pandemic will reach a peak in France. “We have decided to opt for the end of June because we cannot plan further ahead than that,” said the festival, adding that France, as well as many other countries, is currently on lockdown.
