A film festival is not limited to the cinema and the center of the festivals, it is about the location, the trip, the experience.Here, by the deadline, we will provide updates on what it’s like to be on the track of the Venice Film Festival, the world’s first major film of the COVID era.
Tuesday, September 1, day 0
Maybe this year deserves to be “the red wall” than the red carpet.Among the striking maximum differences, this edition is a two-meter wall erected in front of the red carpet (pictured above).Presumably, this security measure was put in position to minimize the same crowds as long as they gather to watch the stars step on the carpet before projections.
We had our temperatures checked when we entered the main center of the festival, but everything was quick and painless.Getting my press card went well, although it was harder to hear from the server between two masks and plexiglass.It was quieter than the same as always for day 0, but it’s not a ghost town.The occasion doesn’t officially begin until after all.
In recent years, the festival has had a series of brilliant billboards from wonderful studio films, but this is not the case this year with fewer programming members. The long technique to the center of the festival without posters and billboards in front of the Hall.Grande showed more ads for Italian films and sponsors than in recent editions.
Earlier in the day, I was given my first wisdom on the new online e-reserve formula for press screenings.Navigation is not the easiest, however, I controld to book 3 tickets in approximately 20 to 25 minutes.The formula was brought in to avoid crowds and to make sure the seats are away in theaters, the screenings will be only 50% of their capacity and there will be more press screenings for everyone to see the movies they need to watch.of what I have been able to do online, they deserve for example, the first morning of press consultation still had many seats available.
It’s a frustration that the festival doesn’t have its own booking app, which I’m sure they’ll have other festivals.Here you have to go through a third-party portal, which is a bit awkward and the site was blocked several times.Others have also had disorders with this. But after clicking on several pages and receiving emails, I still controlled to get my tickets in my brochure.I think once the tickets are booked, you can also show your badge.The procedure requires passwords, logins and a little patience.It won’t be easy for those who don’t know the technologies.
Then.
