Organisers of of the Cannes Film Festival announced that the 2021 edition of the event has been postponed to July due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Last year’s edition was also canceled for similar reasons. A low-key event in October showcasing short films replaced it but there were no -list movie stars, directors and producers.
The organisers stated that the festival will take place from July 6 to17.
The festival the world’s biggest cinema showcase and a major market for the film industry.
The two-week extravaganza is usually a display haven for Hollywood superstars who normally flock to the Mediterranean town’s “Croisette” promenade.
However, the coronavirus outbreak has subdued the glamorous, palm-fringed town as it led to the closure of major hotels, restaurants and bars.
