Cannes 2021 Could Be Historic

November 19, 2020 Jordan Ruimy

Maybe it's too early to speculate about the 2021 edition of the Cannes Film Festival, but this pandemic won’t last forever, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it is realistic to believe that we may be watching films on the Croisette in 7 months time, especially with a Vaccine just right around the corner. With all that being said, if we consider all the holdouts from this year’s canceled event, and add them to all the current productions set to wrap in the next few months, you have the makings for one hell of an official competition next year.

Directors set to have new films ready by Cannes include

”Soggy Bottom” (Paul Thomas Anderson)
”The French Dispatch” (Wes Anderson)
”Annette” (Leos Carax)
”Macbeth” (Joel Coen)
”The Way of the Wind” (Terrence Malick)
”Ahed’s Knee” (Nadav Lapid)
”Blonde” (Andrew Dominik)
”Memoria” (Apichatpong Weerasethakul)
”Benedetta” (Paul Verhoeven)
”Blossoms” (Wong Kar-wai)
”The Power of the Dog” (Jane Campion)
”Petite Maman” (Celine Sciamma)
”Bergman Island” (Mia Hansen-Løve)
”Chocobar” (Lucrecia Martel)
”Les Olympiades” (Jacques Audiard)
”The Souvenir Part II” (Joanna Hogg)
”Tre Piani” (Nanni Moretti)
”Triangle of Sadness” (Ruben Ostlund)
”The Hand of God” (Paolo Sorrentino)
"Mektoub: Canto Duo" (Abdelatif Kechiche)

That’s seven directors who have already won the Palme d'Or.

As mentioned, the Cannes Film Festival was canceled in April due to COVID-19, but that didn’t stop them from going “digital” by releasing a list of 56 films that would have made up its 2020 edition. A total of 15 features were from first-time directors, while 16 of the films listed were helmed by women. The 56 films selected were chosen out of a potential pool of 2,067 features that were submitted. There are 147 countries being represented, and 21 of them coming from France. Despite the “Official Selection,” there wasn’t a competition lineup announced, instead, Fremaux insisted that all 56 films selected would just have an equal badge of honor of being part of this year’s selection.
