It’s the end of Madame Irma’s predictions, barely kept secrets and other rumors in the hallway. This Thursday at 11 am, the general delegate of the Cannes festival Thierry Frémaux and the president Pierre Lescure lifted the veil on the official selection of the 75th edition during their traditional press conference. After a blank year in 2020 for health reasons, and a 2021 season under high Covid surveillance, exceptionally moved to July, the event will be held this year from May 17 to 28, returning to its usual spring calendar.
