A final decision will be taken “as soon as the development of the French and international health situation will allow us to assess the real possibility”, the press release says.

The Marché du Film is expected to announce its plans in relation to the cancellation of the May dates soon. Before the festival’s announcement the Marché du Film chief Jérome Paillard had said that it would run a virtual market on Cinando if the physical event was cancelled. But those plans may change in light of the festival’s possible change to a later date.
