CannesFilmFestival director Thierry Fremaux confirmed that the annual event would not be going digital amid coronavirus: 'Its soul, its history, its efficiency, it’s a model that wouldn’t work”
won’t take the virtual route if it can’t be hosted as a physical event, festival director Thierry Fremaux has confirmed.
“Directors of ‘films’ are driven by the idea of showing their movies on a big screen and sharing them with others at events like festivals, not for their works to end up on an iPhone,” said Fremaux. Fremaux’s declaration echoes Venice’s topper Alberto Barbera’s comments over the weekend, which threw cold water on the prospect of a digital element to Venice, and distinguished that fest from the digital-savvy Toronto International Film Festival, which is “a different type of festival,” according to Barbera.
