Cannes Film Festival that was slated for May this year like before, was postponed because of the pandemic and is expected to collaborate with other festivals, whenever they take place.
Cannes has released its Official Selection list for the year, featuring 56 films.
Among key highlights are films from Wes Anderson, Steve McQueen, Pixar, Francois Ozon, Naomi Kawase, Thomas Vinterberg, and Maiwenn.
The only difference from the other times is that the list has not been divided into different categories but have been clubbed some by thematic category.
