An American film festival in Deauville without Americans, a cautious and masked Venice Film Festival: the cycle of film festivals resumes, but very timidly.

Publicity

It must be said that morale is not good.

Because the reopening of theaters in special sanitary conditions has not yet resulted in the return of spectators and not that of the most anticipated films either, with a few exceptions.
