El Festival de Ischia propone títulos en streaming para enfrentarse a la crisis del coronavirus

Este artículo está disponible en inglés.

In the run-up to its 18th edition, which, if all goes according to plan, should unspool from 27 June-4 July, the Ischia Film Festival is launching a nice little initiative in support of those people currently compelled to stay at home on account of the coronavirus pandemic – like, for example, the entire population of Italy, who have been forced to do so, by administrative order, since Tuesday. Many of the works screened at previous editions of the gathering will be available to stream for free on the festival’s website, for (at least) two weeks.

“At this testing time for the whole world,” stated the founder and artistic director of the festival, Michelangelo Messina, “when humankind is being forced to restructure its very way of life, the Ischia Film Festival, together with the auteurs behind the works that have been screened at previous editions of the gathering, is attempting to harness the power of cinema to contribute to overcoming the national restrictions that have been put in place owing to the coronavirus. We hope that this predicament will end shortly, allowing everyone to get back to living their lives.”

Thanks to the auteurs who have partnered up with the initiative, on the “Films Against the Coronavirus” section of the website www.ischiafilmfestival.it, users will, with just one click, be able to watch the films that took part in the previous editions of the gathering, free of charge from their home computer. All you need to do is select the movie you wish to watch and type in the password indicated. Over the course of 15 days, the section will be updated on a daily basis, as the gathering receives the agreement of more and more directors who have so far been welcoming the initiative with open arms. The list of films available can be found here.

Through this initiative, the Ischia Film Festival, which is made possible thanks to contributions from the Film Department of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and the Campania region, and the support of ANICA, adheres to the #iorestoacasa (lit. “#I’mstayingathome”) campaign launched by the cultural domain to hinder the spread of COVID-19. This campaign subsequently lent its name to the governmental decree that came into force on a national level on Tuesday 10 March, obliging all Italians to stay at home and only allowing them to leave if they can prove that they absolutely need to go out (to go grocery shopping, for work or for health reasons).
