As a result of the spread of the Covid-19 Virus, the organisers of the Cannes Film Festival have announced that the festival won’t take place during the initial dates (12-23 May 2020). They are considering several options and the festival will most probably be postponed to a later date (end June, July, or even later depending on how the situation evolves). In this context, the deadline to participate has been extended to 30 April 2020.
