Cannes Film Festival 2020 stands cancelled, for the third time in history. However, the films that are the official selection will receive the festival tag which they can use in screening and while participating in other festivals. Usually, the titles are announced in a press conference before the festival. During these unprecedented events, despite the cancellation, Cannes general delegate Thierry Frémaux has announced the titles of the 56 movies that would have made the cut this year. One of these films would have won the Palme d’Or. Parasite won the prestigious award in 2019.

According to Fremaux, a record 2,067 films were in the running this year at the  2020 Cannes Film Festival. Last year the number of movies for consideration was 1,845. Included in the 56 films that will receive the Cannes 2020 label are 16 films directed by women, two more than in 2019. There were 532 films directed by women submitted for consideration this year, down from 575 in 2019.
