Cannes will reveal its list of films given the Cannes 2020 label in June

The festival will put an official seal on the films that would have been part of its 2020 selection. It will be on the directors, producers and sales agents to decide, as Venice remains uncertain

Nice!

Hoping to catch at least a few of these, but the French Dispatch is a must watch for me.

Super excited for the Steve McQueen show! Wish his HBO show would get out somehow!

Cannes' ACID sidebar event has unveiled its 2020 program

Cannes' ACID sidebar event unveiled its 2020 program on Thursday. It includes nine films that will not screen in Cannes, but have the support of the sidebar event for up-and-coming and alternative cinema.

ACID, like the official Cannes Film Festival and the Critics' Week section, has chosen to present an official selection of films this year, despite having to cancel all physical events due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Jessé Miceli's -Coalesce,
Ilan Klipper's -Tightrope Walkers
The Seeds We Sow -from director Nathan Nicholovitch
Michele Pennetta's -L Mio Corpo
Marie Dumora's -Far From You I Grew
Nora Martirosyan's -Should The Wind Fall
The Last Days of Spring -from director Isabel Lamberti
Bojena Horackova's -Walden
The Last Hillbilly -from directors Diane Sara Bouzgarrou and Thomas Jenkoe.

The ACID team will help promote the films at the online Cannes film market, which runs from June 22 through June 26 and will hold screenings for the titles for industry professionals and cinema exhibitors. It will also hold public screenings of the selection at the Luxor theater in Paris from Sept. 25 through Sept. 29, at the Comoedia in Lyon from Oct. 2 until Oct. 4 and at the Gyptis and La Baleine cinemas in Marseille from 8-Oct. 11. The selection will also tour to partner festivals in France and abroad. Source

Happy that a Brazilian film has been selected. It might be the last for a few years though, as our government has basically declared war on state funding for the arts.

The Cannes Film Festival has unveiled the lineup for the 17th edition of Cannes Classics, a popular sidebar dedicated to restored heritage movies and documentaries that forms part of the Official Selection.

This year’s roster comprises 25 feature films and seven documentaries. The highlights are Wong Kar-wai’s “In the Mood for Love,” which celebrates its 25th anniversary, as well as Jean-Luc Godard’s “Breathless” and Michelangelo Antonioni’s “L’Aventura,” which are both turning 60. Cannes Classics will also turn the spotlight on Federico Fellini, the Italian master who would have turned 100 in 2020. Two films by Fellini are part of the selection, “La strada” and “Luci del varietà,” along with the documentary “Fellini of the Spirits” directed by Anselma dell’Olio.

Cannes Classics will also spotlight rare films such as Peter Wollen’s “Friendship’s Death” in which Tilda Swinton delivered a breakthrough performance in 1987, and “The Story of a Three-Day Pass,” Melvin Van Peebles’s feature debut. Documentaries included in the roster include “Wim Wenders, Desperado” by Eric Friedler and Andreas Frege; “Charlie Chaplin, The Genius of Liberty” by François Aymé and Yves Jeuland; Bao Nguyen’s “Be Water” about Bruce Lee; R.J. Cutler’s “Belushi” about “Blues Brothers” star John Belushi.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but he agrees with the decision.
