The 2020 Cannes Film Festival was cancelled in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. In early June, the Festival de Cannes decided to release the "official selection" for 2020 and promised to support these films during their general release and at other film festivals. The unusual situation also saw a departure from the usual festival sections. "Five Comedy Films" is the group of 2020 films in the comedy genre, one that by the Festival's own admission is under-represented at Cannes.

A full rundown on the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, is available in the book, Cannes - A Festival Virgin's Guide (7th Edition).
