The 2021 Cannes Film Festival will likely be postponed from May 2021 until July 2021. According to a report from Variety on Thursday (January 21), the festival is expected to reschedule for July 5-25, 2021.
It is anticipated that they will announce the changes by the end of the month. The festival is typically held in May. It was possible that Cannes would look to push the event to late June, but this slot is already taken by the annual advertising market, the Cannes Lions.
Variety added, “With the Cannes Lions still on track to run June 21-25, it’s feasible that the Cannes Film Festival could be assembled in time to roll out in early July.
