The Fantasia International Film Festival is going online this year due to the COVID19 crisis
The Fantasia International Film Festival is going online this year due to the COVID-19 crisis with a virtual screening event from Aug. 20 to Sept. 2 to mirror where possible a traditional theatrical experience.
"They’ve enthusiastically embraced every challenge we’ve thrown their way, particularly when it comes to making so many of our screenings be real-time, live events instead of the usual streaming approach.
As the genre festival rolls out online, world and international feature film premieres intended for the big cinema screen will instead be scheduled as real-time virtual screenings, with firm start-times and a limited number of tickets to be sold for each viewing. Individual tickets are yet to be priced, but will be lower than what Fantasia has charged at its traditional physical festival.
Because of its high-security platform, Fantasia 2020 programmers have been able to confirm a number of top genre premieres that might otherwise have passed on screening at a virtual festival, say organizers. "We’re thrilled to add Fantasia to our growing list of virtual festivals and we’re excited about their inventive new ideas for the platform.
