The annual Annecy International Animation Film Festival, originally scheduled for June 15-20, has cancelled its 2020 edition given the current coronavirus pandemic. The event, which takes place each summer in the south east of France, will instead operate an online version with the lineup due to be announced April 15. While this would have been Annecy’s 60th anniversary, those celebrations will now be held next year.

The festival was initially looking at postponing until the end of June
We’ve just received a press release from the organisers of the Cannes Film Festival. The annual event in the south of France was due to get going in about a month’s time before it was then delayed until at least the end of June due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Now it looks like it won’t happen then either due to the French government outlawing big gatherings until at least July. That means the Cannes Film Festival 2020 dates will have to change once again.
Cannes Film Festival bosses are committed to staging an event to mark 2020 once the coronavirus restrictions have been relaxed, but they insist any gathering will not look like the typical South of France celebration.

Amid the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, Jimmy Fallon — like many of his fellow late night hosts — has taken to YouTube to continue entertaining his fans while self-isolating with his family.
Everyone has been forced to pivot in light of the novel coronavirus spread, including Jimmy Fallon.
The Palais des Festivals, the main complex used for the Cannes Film Festival each year has been repurposed to shelter the homeless during the coronavirus outbreak that has taken hold of most countries around the globe. The huge centre has reportedly opened its doors to around 50-70 homeless people per night in the coastal city in the south of France. It reportedly opened its doors last Friday.
Between 50 and 70 people have been sleeping in the Palais des Festivals every night
The news was inevitable but the 2020 Cannes Film Festival has been postponed from mid-May until late June, early July, according to an official release from organisers. The news comes after the French government banned public gatherings of more than 100 people late last week.
