While the coronavirus pandemic has been good for independent film sales to content-hungry streamers, this year’s string of canceled festivals may lead to a “lost generation” of filmmakers,Speaking in a Cannes Film Market online conversation with Efe Cakarel, CEO of arthouse streaming service, the Chilean filmmaker expressed concern that some of the features destined for their 2020 premiere will now fall through the cracks.
While the Cannes 2020 Selection – announced in early June – lends the 56 films selected with the prestigious Cannes label – without a physical event to launch from, the director argued that their future was still far from certain.Cakarel agreed that a film’s physical premiere at Cannes was an important part of its journey.
“In normal circumstances ‘Memoria’ would have been playing in competition in Cannes for sure – and it would have been amazing,” Cakarel said, adding that there was now talk of the film making its debut in Cannes 2021. “The data reveals a hunger for great cinema and great entertainment. People have a lot more time at home in lockdown and are getting pretty bored very quickly with the Netflix experience – they are starting to search for more interesting content,” he said.
Both men also talked about the impact that the pandemic is causing to production, which they agreed would take longer and incur more expenses with lockdown postponements and on set health and safety regulations.
