La crise du coronavirus frappe le cinéma européen

Cet article est disponible en anglais.

The fear of the coronavirus outbreak keeps wreaking havoc across the world, and the European film industry is certainly no stranger to its repercussions. After the alarm was first raised in other sectors, it is now the film industry's turn to suffer cancellations, postponements and reorganisations due to the measures being adopted by various European governments. As the number of infections escalates quickly all across the continent and the authorities attempt to stop it from growing any bigger, film bodies in charge of organising film festivals, markets and other events are being forced to modify them and adapt them to the current situation.

EuroVOD is providing us with information on the initiatives from the local VoD services.

The new measures being implemented by European countries' authorities in order to support the industry, as well as to get shoots, gatherings and screenings in cinemas back on track after the shock of the pandemic, besides those adopted during the confinement, are now being collected here.

The events that have been postponed and are aiming to celebrate a physical edition in the coming months are now here.
