Venice Film Festival refused to go online
One of the oldest European movie festivals, the Venice Film Festival, will take place on the previously scheduled date and will not be turned into an online show due to the uncertainty associated with the spread of the coronavirus. This is reported by the Variety edition with reference to the organizers. "The Venice Film Festival cannot be replaced by an online event / Obviously, there is a possibility that we are using certain technologies only for some initiatives," a representative of the movie forum commented. Note that at the time of publication of this note, Italy was in strict isolation with more than 15,000 deaths from the coronavirus. However, there was still hope that, thanks to the measures applied, the crisis would be overcome by the summer. Let us also remind you that another famous movie festival, Cannes, was canceled earlier. Its organizers referred to the danger of the coronavirus and promised to hold the event as soon as circumstances permit. The new disease and quarantine measures have made serious adjustments not only to the schedule of all kinds of cinema-related events, but also to the shooting and distribution schedules of many movies and serials. The studios had to tweak their plans. The Topic of Article: Venice Film Festival refused to go online. |
