CANNES FILM FESTIVAL DELAYED: The Cannes Film Festival is moving this year’s event from May to July. "As announced last autumn, the Festival de Cannes reserved the right to change its dates depending on how the global health situation developed," Cannes said in a statement. "Initially scheduled from 11 to 22 May 2021, the Festival will therefore now take place from Tuesday 6 to Saturday 17 July 2021." The move is expected to have a domino effect, possibly bumping the Venice Film Festival, currently set for September 1, forward as well.
