Industry Pays Tribute to Canceled Cannes as Palais Continues to Serve as Coronavirus Shelter

The festival and the city of Cannes humbly marked the day by posting a picture of a large white banner above the entrance to the Palais des Festivals, where gala world premieres are hosted. The banner read, “Thank you to our caregivers, to all those who carried out essential work, to everyone for their civic duty.”

Festival director Thierry Fremaux said in an interview with French radio network RTL on Tuesday morning that he wholeheartedly supported the “initiative of Cannes mayor David Lisnard to have provided homeless people with food and proper sanitary conditions in venue that’s often synonymous with prestige.”
