will unveil a selection of movies in early June and collaborate with several festivals, including Venice, to present some films,has confirmed. Organizers also seem to have ruled out the possibility of a physical festival this fall.
“As of today, a physical edition seems complicated to organize, so we are going forward with an announcement of films from the Selection at the beginning of June,” said a spokesperson for the festival, confirming what Cannes’ director Thierry Fremaux said on Sunday in an interview with Screen Daily.
Rather than opting for a virtual festival, Cannes will be organizing a “redeployment ‘outside the walls’ , in collaboration with fall festivals,” said the spokesperson. This includes Venice,The Cannes chief, who is a fervent supporter of movie theaters, has vowed to help exhibitors lure back moviegoers this fall. “The cinema and its industries are threatened.
Cannes will be showing its “labeled” films at festivals such as Toronto, Deauville, Angoulême, San Sebastian, New York, Busan and Fremaux’s own Lumière festival in Lyon. Fremaux added the idea with Venice was to go further and jointly present movies.
