Official opening date of the Cannes Film Festival 2021

The Cannes Film Festival hopes to find an apparent normality in the 2021 edition. However, it should still live at the speed of a health crisis: it will always be necessary to wear a mask and maintain a social distancing, even though Thierry Frémaux revealed in several interviews that he dreams of « Cannes without mask ».

The Cannes Festival preferred to abandon its usual May dates and migrate to July. This 74th edition will therefore take place from Tuesday 6 to Saturday 17 July 2021.

  • Thierry Frémaux and the organizers confirmed that the festival « comply fully with the Regulation » and plans to introduce strict health procedures. The measures envisaged include:
    The establishment of projection stations in the city and around the Palais des Festivals.
  • The elimination of queues in front of the projection rooms.
  • The reservation of projections in advance and the increase of outdoor activities.

from Tuesday 6 to Saturday 17 July 2021.
