Palm Springs film festival cancelled for 2022
Still from previous edition of Palm Springs Film Festival.
COVID situation around the world has forced Palm Springs Film Awards to take a backseat as organisers announce that the entire film festival stands cancelled for 2022. This comes after the cancellation was first announced for Palm Springs Film Awards last week.
The festival announced in a statement: “Based on the current rise of COVID cases, the Palm Springs International Film Society has announced that the Film Festival will not take place this year from January 7-17. This follows the cancellation of the January 6 Film Awards. After thoughtful consideration, the Film Society feels this is the most responsible decision to ensure the safety of our patrons, filmmakers, and staff. Those who have purchased festival tickets and passes will receive a refund. For most, the refund will be returned to their original method of payment.
At this time Palm Springs ShortFest is scheduled to return June 21-27, 2022. The Film Festival and Film Awards will return to an in-person event in January 2023. The Film Awards will partner with Entertainment Tonight to celebrate this year’s honorees with details to follow. The festival will announce juried award winners from the official selection on January 15 via press release and social media.”
