AFI Fest<\/strong> is the latest film festival to go virtual this year amid the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The festival, which is often an early stop in the awards season circuit, is going virtual for its 34th edition this October, dispensing with its usual physical festivities held at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Times broke the news<\/a> that this year\u2019s AFI Fest is officially going fully virtual. The festival moved up its schedule from its most recent dates in November to\u00a0October 15-22<\/strong>, with festival organizers planning to have the same programming structure as past years, including sections dedicated to world cinema and new auteurs. While other festivals are drastically scaling back the number of films being screened, AFI Fest will likely only reduce its number by 10% to 20%, according to\u00a0Michael Lumpkin, director of AFI festivals. Last year, AFI Fest screened more than 140 titles.<\/p>\n

\u201cStructurally it\u2019s very similar to what we\u2019ve done in the past years,\u201d Lumpkin told the LA Times. \u201cPresenting great films from around the world to our audiences and having really great discussions and conversations around the films and around the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

AFI may be better prepared to make the switch to virtual than the other fall festivals doing away with their physical editions, as it has already done it before. The AFI Docs festival, based out of Washington, D.C., took place in June with ticketed virtual screenings and events, and included live Q&As with filmmakers and events with industry leaders and activists.<\/p>\n

The AFI Fest is considered an early stop in the awards season circuit, with Oscar contenders building buzz at the Los Angeles-based fall festival. Usually held in November,\u00a0AFI shifted its dates forward from its usual November slot in order to be closer to the Toronto International Film Festival and be \u201cmore competitive.\u201d Other awards circuit fall festivals like the Venice Film Festival, TIFF, and New York Film Festival are offering a hybrid of physical and virtual events. Meanwhile, the Telluride Film Festival recently canceled its Labor Day weekend event.<\/p>\n

AFI plans to announce its lineup in September. The festival has hosted world premieres of awards season contenders that weren\u2019t yet ready for earlier festivals like\u00a0American Sniper, Selma, The Fighter, The Big Short<\/em>, and\u00a0Monster<\/em>, with last year opening with Melina Matsoukas\u2019\u00a0Queen and Slim<\/em> and also showing Clint Eastwood\u2019s\u00a0Richard Jewell<\/em>. With the state of the upcoming Oscar season in flux (and maybe not even happ<\/a>ening next year), it will be interesting to at least see AFI\u2019s choices for this year\u2019s awards contenders.<\/p>\n
