by | posted in: All News, Europe | 0

The health crisis has forced film festivals across the world to reinvent their offers in 2020, reorganising themselves in innovative ways through online editions, live festivals and hybrid formats. In order to verify the response that such a revolution of cultural promotion has had in Italy, and to elaborate models and reflections on the future of the system, the AFIC (Italian Film Festival Association) has launched a research project titled “Festival platform: investigation on the future of film events.”

With the support of the Cinema and Audiovisual General Direction of the MiBACT and the collaboration of the company Atlantica Digital, the research project will allow for the collection of data relating to the Italian film festival scene to reconstruct how film events have confronted this unprecedented scenario.
