Cannes Film Festival’s main venue sheltering homeless during coronavirus outbreak

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.

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.

When it comes to film festivals, everyone follows Cannes’ lead, which is why it’s curious that the influential French event, originally scheduled to unspool from May 12-23 this year, waited more than a full week after the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic — and two weeks after the French government banned public gatherings through the end of May — to announce that it would not take place as originally planned.

The 2020 edition of the Cannes Film Festival has been postponed by the organizers owing to the Coronavirus crisis which has gripped almost every country in the world. Speculations were already rife about the prestigious film festival getting canceled in the wake of COVID 19 scare due to the fear of infection and now the reports have turned out to be true. The mega event was originally scheduled to be held from May 12 to May 23, 2020, in France.
