Having the festival in France completely cancelled for this year, part of the event will be virtual, says Kassan in this interview with Beet.TV
How Cannes will be virtualized is being developed now.
Also in the interview, Kassan cautions the industry about the importance of “tone” around marketing messages during the crisis.
