The independent movie business still depends very largely on selling and buying individual titles. Much of that is driven, despite the eruption of streaming platforms, by festivals and markets.
When festivals began canceling, Visions du Réel reached out to rights holders to see how they’d feel about screening online. “The reaction was great and grateful,” Bujès recalled. It was this conversation with right holders which validated the festival’s decision, she stressed. In the end, 95 out of the 97 films selected foraccepted screening online. A 96th couldn’t make it because it was unable to complete post-production with its lab closed.
In the spirit of such support, Directors’ Fortnight might give a selection label to the films it had selected, if that helps them, he said, while keeping other options open. “In terms of an institutional approach, there are other options being imagined for Cannes 2020. We would, if anything happened at some point, be happy to keep the discussion going.
