Pierre Lescure president of The Cannes International Film Festival says that the festival will help later this year or may get canceled depending on the situation of the pandemic.
While speaking to a French newspaper Le Figaro he said that the organizers of the festival can skip this year’s edition. He told me that the organizers have extended the date and they are even thinking of cancelling the event if the pandemic doesn’t come in control.
Lineups were to be announced on April 16 where as festival was scheduled to open on May 12.
He added that the Cannes festival was not insured against the loss of revenue that would result from the cancellation as the mega film event is not covered by Cannes’ insurance policy.
