The Cannes Film Festival is one of the five big festivals,Cannes Film Festival Might Get Delayed Till Summer Articles along with the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada, the Berlin International Film Festival in Germany, the Venice Film Festival in Italy, and the Sundance Film Festival in the United States.

The upcoming 74th annual film festival was originally scheduled for 11 May to 22 May. The event’s spokesman recently told Agence France-Presse that it could be postponed for any future date between the end of June to the end of July.

The 2020 Cannes Film Festival was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, the Venice Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival managed to organize the event under strict COVID-19 protocols.

In 1938 the film festival was founded by historian Philippe Erlanger and film journalist Robert Favre Le Bret. Soon after the launch, the United Kingdom and France announced war against Germany, which later sparked the Second World War.

The film festival was re-launched on 20 September 1946, and over 21 countries participated in the event. Within a few years, the festival gained much popularity and became a huge attraction for press and tourism. The event became a source of high-profile scandals and was also developing the artistic aspects. The prestigious award, ‘Palme d’Or’ was created in 1955.

The last Cannes Film Festival was held in 2019. The brilliant South Korean movie, Parasite won the ‘Palme d’Or.’ Director Bong Joon-ho’s 2019 black comedy movie is the first non-English language movie to win ‘Palme d’Or’ and the Academy Award for Best Picture.

The huge film festival attracts around 45,000 people every year. It is also a big hotspot for journalists. Cannes Film Festival is organized by many producers, including distributors, programmers, buyers, and film producers. Hence, the event is one of the greatest marketplaces for the industry people.

2021 has a great list of upcoming films that could participate in the 74th Cannes Film Festival. Hopefully, unlike last year, the management manages to organize the event. Hollywood and its fans are impatiently waiting for it.
