It will pivot the industry-focused The Europe – Latin America Co-production Forum and Zinemaldia & Technology to online, while WIP Latam and WIP Europe will be a combo of physical and online. The fest has also pushed back the scheduled retrospective of Korean films from the 50s and 60s until 2021 and has cancelled the Klasikoak section for this year.
San Sebastian is due to run September 18-26. Major fests arriving before those dates that are pushing on with plans for physical editions include Venice, Toronto and Telluride.
