Cinematography Festival Camerimage Pivots to Purely Digital Format
Leo Barraclough Senior International CorrespondentPoland’s Camerimage, the world’s leading film festival dedicated to cinematography, has been forced to abandon plans to stage a hybrid event, and will pivot to a purely digital format.The festival, which takes place Nov. 14-21 in Toruń, had already announced that the majority of its screenings and events would be online, but it had hoped to stage a number of them on-site too.However, the Polish government’s decision to limit cultural events due to the growing number of COVID-19 cases in the country has put the kibosh on that.“The decision has filled us with pain, but also understanding,” the fest director Marek Żydowicz said in statement sent to participants.
