The current ban on holding mass events due to quarantine measures has forced film festivals to rethink their formats. Ukraine’s #DocuDays UA# will hold an online conversation with many of the documentary festival world’s key figures on 3 May 2020 at 17:00 to discuss how events have dealt with this force majeure.
The conversation will address the topics: How quarantine will influence festival policies on premiere screenings? How will the online format of festivals influence world cinema? How film festivals plan to adapt to the new conditions and cooperate with creative industries after quarantine?
Participants:
- Ondřej Kamenický: Director of International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival One World
- Melanie Iredale: Film curator and festival producer, Deputy Director of Sheffield Doc/Fest
- Victoria Leshchenko: Programme director of Docudays UA
- Iryna Tsilyk: Ukrainian filmmaker and writer
- Tine Fischer: Founder and festival director of CPH:DOX
- Moderator: Orwa Nyrabia, artistic director of IDFA
