Earlier, festival management considered holding the festival in June or July,[4] after not cancelling the event.[5] In mid-March, the festival's main venue, the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière, was converted into a temporary homeless shelter.[6] In May 2020, it was announced that no physical edition of the festival would take place,[7] but a revised Official Selection of films was confirmed on 3 June 2020.[8][9][10] Before announcing the list of films from the official selection, Thierry Frémaux the director of the Cannes Film Festival, said in an interview that he was talking with Spike Lee and also was hoping to have him as President of the Jury on the 2021 edition. He also confirmed that Lee's film Da 5 Bloods was supposed to be the return of Netflix to the red carpet in the Out of Competition category.[11]
