In spite of our efforts to move Heaven & Earth, it has become clear that we simply will not be able to make the Festival happen this year. We are so sorry to let you all down," Variety quoted the letter from the organisers. The festival is carrying over the ticket policy from 2020 which will allow those who bought a ticket in October 2019 to roll their Euro 50 deposit over to next year and get the chance to buy the ticket for the festival in 2022. Tom Hanks Believes Cinema Halls Will ‘Absolutely’ Sail Through The Coronavirus Pandemic
