YouTube: platform hosts digital film festival

The coronavirus pandemic is foiling this year’s film festivals. YouTube postpones a free ten-day event.

No show, no premieres, no awards: due to the coronavirus pandemic, many film festivals cannot be held this year. YouTube’s video platform offers a replacement. As announced on Monday, Google’s subsidiary launched the 10-day online event “We Are One: A Global Film Festival.” From May 29 to June 7, 2020, new content and classics will be shown on the platform.

“Power and Magic of Cinema” is kept in “We Are One: A Global Film Festival”

A total of 20 partners participate in the virtual film festival, according to YouTube. These include the Cannes and Venice International Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival, the Sundance Film Festival and the Tribeca Film Festival, as well as the Berlinale. The latter says on Facebook: “We believe in the creative power and magic of cinema. And in the idea of ​​solidarity.”

“We Are One: A Global Film Festival” is a free YouTube event that must include music, comedy and round tables, as well as feature films, short films and documentaries.
