Festival de Cannes 2020

The show is going on for the 2020 Cannes Film Festival, even though by now in a normal year we would have known which film would succeed Bong Joon Ho’s “Parasite” as the new Palme d’Or winner. The original 2020 festival was scheduled to run May 12-23 but was canceled in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. Cannes is living on this year as festival announced the 56 films that made the cut for the 2020 Official Selection. Selected films will be branded with an official Cannes 2020 label that they can take to additional festivals later this year and use when they open in theaters. Among the selected films is the drama film Gagarine where a teenager with dreams of space comes of age as his housing project is scheduled for demolition.

Composers: Amin Bouhafa, Evgueni Galperine, Sacha Galperine
