Bill Kramer is trying to cater to the 25 percent of the Academy's membership, which lives outside the United States.
Kramer took part in a panel on “the values of cinema in global society” together with Venice Film Festival artistic director Alberto Barbera and Nicola Maccanico, CEO of Italian studio giant Cinecittà on the eve of the Venice festival’s 90th anniversary.
Kramer’s tour, which from Venice will take him to Telluride, Toronto and London, is also a show of Oscar support for the film festival circuit, which were hard hit by the COVID pandemic. “I think there were many of us that thought: will festivals ever be in-person festivals again?” Kramer noted, “[but] I think we’ve come out the other side and we’ve seen now how critically important in-person festivals are for the health of our cinema ecosystem.
