Despite the “Official Selection,” there wasn’t a competition lineup announced, instead, Fremaux insisted that all 56 films selected would just have an equal badge of honor of being part of this year’s selection. A fun game to play, which I will continue to spitball/revise in the weeks to come since we will likely never know the full details of this year’s canceled Cannes 2020 competition, is to put together the 18-21 films that would have competed this year for the Palme d’Or. Some of the below films were not given the Cannes stamp of approval this past wee, mostly because they either decided to wait it out for next year’s festival (Annette, Memoria, Benedetta, Ahed’s Knee) or were hoping to premiere at this year’s fall fests (Tres Piani). Regardless, thanks to rumors, sources, and public information, these are the 18 films that would have surely vyed for the Palme d’Or: The French Dispatch - Wes AndersonSummer of 85 - François OzonAnnette - Leos CaraxMemoria - Apichatpong WeerasethakulAhed’s Knee - Nadav LapidBenedetta - Paul VerhoevenBergman’s Island - Mia Hansen-LoveTre Piani - Nanni MorettiAmmonite - Francis LeeMangrove - Steve McQueen Lover’s Rock - Steve McQueenOn A Half Clear Morning - Bruno DumontPetrov’s Flu - Kirill SerebrennikovTrue Mothers - Naomi KawaseAnother Round - Thomas VinterbergDNA - MaïwennHeaven: To The Land Of Happiness - Im Sang-soo Contribute Hire me
