Well, there ain't none. And the cancelling of music festivals across the rest of the year makes it quite possible there will be no film festivals too.

In the meantime, Cannes announced their official selection: https://www.festival-cannes.com/en/info ... -selection

Quite a few I would have loved to have seen.

I've been getting notifications that the Vancouver Film Festival will be holding some kind of streaming festival this fall, which is better than nothing I guess, but probably not something I'll participate in.

That's a shame. The problem with streaming fests is that the bigger films won't participate as they're afraid of piracy. So you're going to end up with the smaller films that have no distribution or films that have already at the end of their festival run and will be out soon.

Also, my first thought when I saw that Cannes lineup earlier this week was Sparks fanboy outrage that there was no Annette!

I remember that YouTube had that streaming festival recently but it was mostly things that had already been released a few years earlier.
