The film industry in its entirety has had to adapt, much like the rest of the world, to the new reality in which we currently live. Film festivals, inherently personal experiences, have been hit the hardest. HIFF is one of the first festivals to adopt the virtual route to deliver their 2020 program. In this important discussion, guests will talk about the new logistic challenges that emerge when migrating to a virtual venue, the sustainability of digital festivals for organizers, the effect of digital vs. In-person for filmmakers looking to secure distribution, as well as how interacting with the audience through virtual means differs from the norm.
The panel will be free for everyone to attend and participate in, and the audience may submit questions for the guests to answer at any point during the stream.
The event is an unmissable opportunity for anyone interested in the film industry, but festival organizers and filmmakers, in particular, should join in on the conversation to glean information about the impact of the pandemic on this trademark experience.
