Cannes Film Festival, cancelled in 2020, postponed to July amid Covid-19

The Cannes Film Festival, cancelled altogether last year by the pandemic, is postponing this year's edition from May to July in hopes of having an in-person festival. Cannes organisers announced Wednesday that this year's festival will now take place July 6-17, about two months after its typical period. The French Riviera festival, which had run for nearly 75 years with few interruptions, is currently hoping the coronavirus recedes enough by summertime. Cannes last year first looked at a postponement its 73rd festival to June or July before ultimately cancelling altogether. The festival still went ahead with a selection announcement to celebrate the films it had planned to include in its prestigious lineup. This year, organisers are intent on having a festival, one way or another. No details were announced Wednesday on what shape a 2021 edition might take.

The Glass magnet & why print feels small

One of the great things about living in these multi-platform, hyper-kinetic times is that ambition has become a lot more democratic. And, when brands encourage the concept of this democracy, one where every ambition is equal, it touches people and makes the brand more relevant to society. The 'Six-pack band' does exactly that. It's less about music and more about the transgender community's right to dream big and about giving them a new foothold in popular culture. Not just easing them into the social mainstream and consciousness, but doing it with a swagger. A well-deserved Grand Prix that firmly stamps India's dominance in the Glass Lions category for the second year in a row.In fact, India's brilliant haul in the category sparked off a lot of after-dinner conversations and I overheard an American delegate tell his Indian friend - 'You guys can build a nice glass house back home!' Quite a glass magnet we've become!Looking through the winners across categories, one can't help but noti
