The Cannes International Film Festival, previously postponed due to the novel coronavirus, said Tuesday that it won't take place in its originally planned form, but is still exploring options for a 2020 edition.
The organizers of the world's most prestigious film festival didn't confirm new dates for the 73rd Cannes Film Festival. The 2020 festival was originally scheduled for May 12 to May 23, but was postponed due to health concerns surrounding the coronavirus pandemic.
There were widespread calls for Cannes to cancel the festival altogether, but organizers held out hope that the event could take place if authorities judged the crisis to be over.
