Cannes Film Festival 2021 Lineup: Leos Carax, Wes Anderson and more
The 2021 edition of the Cannes International Film Festival has revealed its full lineup, including the likes of Leos Carax, Wes Anderson, and more.
The 74th edition of the first, which was originally scheduled to take place in May, has been pushed back to July due to the coronavirus pandemic. The event, which was cancelled in 2020, will take place in person with the appropriate Covid precautions in place.
While it has already been confirmed that Spike Lee will act as the 2021 jury president, Cannes has now confirmed that work by the likes of Wes Anderson, Leos Carax, Mia Hansen-Løve, Todd Haynes, Nanni Moretti and more will feature.
“Vaccination is not mandatory, but testing is,” Cannes general delegate Thierry Frémaux said. “Spectators can choose to present either a vaccination certificate or a negative test. Basically, to access the Palais, people will have to present a valid health pass to enter the screenings. The validity of the pass is acquired via either a complete vaccination course, or immunity acquired more than 15 days and less than 6 months ago, or a negative PCR or antibodies test within a 48-hour window.”
