The event is the first major in-person film fest to be held in the wake of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. Attendees had to follow strict safety measures like mandatory face masks indoors, temperature scanners, and socially distanced screenings to reduce the risk of infection. The public was barred from the red carpet, and big stars were largely absent this year. The 77th edition of the festival runs from 02 to 12 September 2020. EPA-EFE/CLAUDIO ONORATI
