Monday, 29 Apr 2024

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. "The First Features" is the group of 2020 films which are the respective directors' first features.
