The Oscars were pushed back two months, but it won’t have a domino effect on Cannes or Berlin film festivals
said it will keep its spring 2021 edition and kick off in mid-May, only a few weeks after the Oscars on April 25. The exact dates will be unveiled this week.
Several high-profile movies that were expected to bow at this year’s Cannes have been held by filmmakers to world premiere at the festival in 2021, for instance Paul Verhoeven’s “Benedetta” and Leos Carax’s “Annette” with Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard.The postponing of the Oscars positions Cannes very early in the awards season. The fest has usually been a strong launchpad for foreign-language films such as “Parasite,” and to a lesser extent some U.S.
“On our side, we are confident to put the festival in place and we are working along with our partners in that direction. Of course, we are very much willing to have an open conversation with production companies, studios and rights owners. If the Berlin International Film Festival can support films in their journey, we will be happy to give our contribution — especially in these exceptional times,” said the pair.
