This year’s Cannes Film Festival competition includes 24 films. The organizers stressed that the Covid-19 pandemic is not over, but will try to promote the revival of the film industry with a full-fledged program.
“It’s not a small and different festival. It’s a festival in a given year because the pandemic isn’t over. But it’s really something we want to do. Our responsibility and our duty is, firstly, to say that the pandemic isn’t over, and secondly. , to call for something to be done together to send a sign, a strong sign that Cannes is a world film festival and also to help the film revive, “said film festival director Teri Fremo.
The Cannes Film Festival was canceled last year, but this year will take place from 6 to 17 July. The event will be opened with the latest film “Annette” by French director Leo Caraks, featuring actors Adam Driver and Marion Cotiara, who is one of the 24 contenders for the main prize – the Golden Palm Branch.
This year, the jury will be chaired by the innovative American film director Spike Lee, who is the first dark-skinned person to perform this honorable duty, and the Golden Palm branch for career achievements has been awarded to Jody Foster. The double Oscar winner will receive his trophy during the opening ceremony on July 6.
The usual simultaneous Cannes Film Market will be held in virtual format this year from 21 to 25 June.
