The 2020 Cannes Film Festival was supposed to run from May 12 to May 23 this year but was canceled on account of the coronavirus pandemic but the show must go on and festival president Pierre Lescure and general delegate Thierry Frémaux are set to announce the films that made it to the 2020 Official Selection.

 

According to Indiewire, the films that have been selected will be branded with an official Cannes 2020 label which they can use when they open in theatres, whenever that may be, and carry on to other festivals this year.

 

Competition, Un Certain Regard, Out of Competition, Special Screenings, and Midnight Screenings are the sections under the Official Selection with the Palme d’Or contenders premiering in the Competition category.

 

A record 2,067 feature films were up for consideration this year. Out of the 56 films that will receive the Cannes 2020 label are 13 films directed by women and 15 feature debuts.
