The Haifa International Film Festival (Hiff) has anounced that its 36th edition is moving entirely online following the Israeli government’s recent decision to impose a three-week nationwide lockdown to combat the surge of Covid-19 cases in the country.
The festival, which usually unfolds against the vibrant backdrop of the port city of Haifa, said the 2020 edition would still take place during its announced dates of October 3-10, but with a mix of digital screenings and video-call meetings rather than physical events.

The programmers behind the strand discuss bringing the line-up online as a result of the virus crisis.
“We’ve had to do the programme more than once,” says Mathilde Henrot of the highly unusual circumstances in which she and fellow programmer Alessandro Raja have put together Sarajevo Film Festival’s Kinoscope sidebar.
Until recently, Sarajevo was set to go ahead as a physical event with open-air screenings. But, just eight days before opening night amid a second spike of Covid-19 cases throughout the region, the festival moved entirely online with the exception of a few outdoor screenings in nearby Mostar.

With Cannes and Venice both up in the air due to the coronavirus pandemic, Italy’s film promotion org. Filmitalia has teamed up with festival streaming platform Festival Scope Pro to launch its annual Italian Screenings market online in July.
Filmitalia, a unit of Italian national film entity Luce-Cinecittà, “is the first of Europe’s roughly 30 film promotion agencies to make a move into the virtual market space,” says its chief Carla Cattani.
She is organizing this year’s digital screenings — which will run July 21-24 in an expanded format — in tandem with the country’s film exporters’ union Unefa.
The Italian Screenings’ July 21-24 slot is strategic, situated in the calendar a month after the Cannes virtual market — where Italian movies will probably have “low visibility,” Cattani notes — and before Venice, which may or may not take place in early September.
“We have to kickstart the market cycle again...

Since its launch in 2012, the Sarajevo Film Festival’s Kinoscope sidebar has presented challenging, experimental and genre-bending titles from around the globe.
This year’s lineup includes an eclectic showcase of feature and documentary works from mostly young directors, half of them women, including Nicolas Pesce’s U.S. thriller “Piercing”; Dominga Sotomayor’s “Too Late to Die Young”; Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani’s “Let the Corpses Tan”; and Gustav Möller’s Danish thriller “The Guilty,” this year’s opening film.
Kinoscope programmers Alessandro Raja and Mathilde Henrot sat down with Variety to discuss the section and this year’s lineup.
Q: Half of your films are by female filmmakers. Is there a conscious effort on your part to present works by women?
Henrot: It’s a conscious selection which doesn’t require too much effort. Since the beginning of Kinoscope we’ve always chosen to have a balanced...

LONDON -- Just three months after it was announced, a substantial part of the dream is over for Dreamachine, the much-touted merger between U.K.-based Hanway Films and Paris-centered Celluloid Dreams.
Both famous names -- two of the best-known indie sales and finance houses on the festival and market circuit -- said Friday that they will drop the Dreamachine moniker in the sales arena and "run as separate businesses with dedicated first-cycle sales and acquisition teams in London and Paris."
In short, the announcement means that marketgoers, film financiers and buyers will have Hanway and Celluloid Dreams back in their BlackBerrys when hunting for fresh projects.
But Dreamachine, the nascent banner established by the two in April, will continue to exist as a jointly owned VOD operation and library acquisition unit.
The banner will continue to license the combined 500-title library, run by director of library sales Alessandro Raja. It also will acquire library assets and embark on its own VOD platform and VOD rights aggregation business, the parties said.
