A special Festivals and the Pandemic edition of Talking Movies looks at the impact of the cancellation of 2020’s Cannes Film Festival - one of the world's most prestigious movie events. 

The show reports on the fate of several films that were going to be shown at the festival and explores how programmers are trying to ensure their selections now appear at other festivals. Also, with the fate of the Toronto, Telluride, New York and London film festivals uncertain, the Oscars race has now been thrown into disarray. The programme will be hearing from key industry players on what shape the 2021 Academy Awards ceremony is likely to take.
