In the light of the coronavirus pandemic, the organizers of some film festivals in the world decided to switch to the online format so that the collected collections of new films would not be wasted.
A week ago Amazon invited the creators of the festival South by southwest make the main program show directly on your streaming service Amazon prime.
As planned, within 10 days, as the festival usually goes, any platform subscriber will be able to watch a particular movie from the program Sxswthen tapes will be removed from the catalog. The authors of the paintings were later promised to pay compensation for such shows on behalf of the festival.
However, not everyone met this idea joyfully.
Some filmmakers and producers began to worry that showing, even in such a small window of time, could adversely affect the sale of paintings to different venues in the future. According to the participants, Amazon’s efforts are pleasing to them, but this format makes them feel like they are giving away their feeds for free.
As a result, some representatives of the festival, who were going to show their work before the coronavirus, began to refuse to participate in the Amazon initiative. The collection will probably preserve paintings, the authors of which have already managed to agree on rental at other sites in advance.
Other festivals organize online shows for the press and industry participants, however, perhaps this format will not be convenient for everyone. If the display of paintings on Amazon takes place, then this will happen in the second half of April.
