Cannes Film Festival Postponed, May Be Rescheduled for June or July
The Cannes Film Festival has been postponed due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
In an official announcement on Thursday, organisers confirmed that the annual film event would no longer be taking place between May 12 to May 23 as originally planned, but said several options were on the table to ensure it runs, including postponing the event until June or July, depending on the developing situation.
[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/13/how-coronavirus-delays-are-impacting-2020-movies-ign-now”]
The statement read: “At this time of global health crisis, our thoughts go to the victims of the COVID-19 and we express our solidarity with all of those who are fighting the disease. Today, we have made the following decision: The Festival de Cannes cannot be held on the scheduled dates, from May 12 to 23. Several options are considered in order to preserve its running, the main one being a simple postponement, in Cannes, until the end of June-beginning of July, 2020.
“As soon as the development of the French and international health situation will allow us to assess the real possibility, we will make our decision known, in accordance with our ongoing consultation with the French Government and Cannes’ City Hall as well as with the Festival’s Board Members, Film industry professionals and all the partners of the event.”
Earlier this week, Deadline reported that Cannes organisers had been working on a virtual market solution, as a contingency plan in case the film festival couldn’t fulfil its scheduled dates. It is understood that the market would include online screenings, live streamings and virtual meetings, though it was looking to run alongside the physical event, which has now been pushed back.
