Announcement follows the postponement of Cannes Film Festival due to Covid-19 pandemic.
Cannes Critics’ Week announced on Friday that its 59th edition would not be taking place on its original scheduled May 13-23 dates but that it was continuing its selection process nonetheless.
The announcement by the Cannes parallel section, devoted to first and second time features and shorts by emerging filmmakers, was not unexpected.
It follows the postponement of the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday (March 19) from its planned May 12-23 dates to a potential unconfirmed slot in end-June, early July due to the worsening coronavirus situation in France and internationally.
