Organizers seemed to hint at this virtual market in the Tuesday release, stating that they have been speaking with industry professionals and plan to “explore all contingencies allowing to support the year of Cinema by making Cannes 2020 real, in a way or another."
Cannes is the latest industry event to be impacted by a wave of postponements and cancellations that began in earnest with the early March axing of South by Southwest. Widely regarded as one of the most distinguished festivals in global cinema, Cannes operates alongside parallel programs including the Directors’ Fortnight and Critics’ Week — both of which have been canceled.
“It’s impossible to project ourselves in the short term: the fall festivals could all get canceled, or we could start seeing a clearer sky with the arrival of summer,” Fremaux said, adding: “What each and everyone must understand is that if we fight, it’s not [for] the festival itself, but to support the economic relaunch of the whole sector, on a global scale — the films, the artists, the professionals, the theaters and their audiences.”
