'After thoughtful consideration, the Film Society feels this is the most responsible decision to ensure the safety of our patrons, filmmakers and staff,' reads a statement.
Per the Film Society, plans are still in place for the Palm Springs ShortFest, scheduled for June 21-27, and they made sure to note that the film festival and awards gala will return to an in-person event in January 2023. This year’s cancelation marks the second straight Palm Springs fest and awards gala to be nixed due to the pandemic after the 2021 edition.
News for the desert festival follows a wave of cancellations for major industry events amid the omicron surge. The Critics Choice Awards, the Governors Awards, AFI Awards, the Hollywood Critics Association Film Awards and the New York Film Critics Circle Awards have all been postponed while festivals, including Rotterdam and Slamdance, have shifted from in-person to online.
