[KineJapan] Fw: Newsletter Locarno Film Festival: FAQs Locarno 2020

[Roger Macy]

Dear KineJapaners,

The un-event horizon for film festivals has now reached August, with thecancellation (at least for feature films) of the Locarnofestival. I have no idea where and when the travelling retrospective on TanakaKinuyo will now first get shown, and would be grateful for any information whenit emerges.

The Cinémathèque françaiseis now closed until September. I understand there are unfinalized plans tore-mount the Shimizu retrospectivenear the end of the year.

No information has come regarding Cinema Ritrovato in late June, or thepostponed FEFF, which nominally partly overlaps it. Of course, postponements orconversions to online form are more easily said than done.

So, at least we have Nippon Connection to look forward to in some onlineform.

Yours stoically,

Roger

Canceled Locarno73,
the Festival relaunches with Locarno 2020
  |

The Locarno Film Festival, obliged to forgo both its traditional selection of full-length feature premieres and, in principle, physical venues — first and foremost the iconic Piazza Grande —, has decided to put forward an alternative to the classic film festival concept. The aim is to continue to offer, thanks to the Festival’s partners, the greatest possible support to international and Swiss film industries as they face a profound crisis. Locarno 2020 – For the Future of Films will bolster independent auteur filmmaking and cinema theaters via a selection of dedicated projects, offering special content to both industry professionals and the public on a range of platforms.

Through the FAQs page on our official website, you can stay up to date on the implications of the physical cancellation of Locarno73 for this year's event and on the news related to Locarno 2020.
 
These FAQs will be constantly revised and updated with new information.
