We Are One: A Global Film Festival

With the coronavirus bringing the world to a standstill all film festivals have been cancelled owing to the social distancing measures in place. Film festivals affected include the prominent Sydney, Cannes, Sundance, Tribeca, and Venice Film Festivals.

However, Tribeca Enterprises and YouTube have come together to present the We Are One: A Global Film Festival which will bring films from 20 major film festivals for potentially billions of people around the world to watch in the comfort of their own homes, for free, in a 10-day digital film festival.

“We often talk about film’s uniquely powerful role in inspiring and uniting people across borders and differences to help heal the world. All of the world needs healing right now,” explained Tribeca Enterprises and Tribeca Film Festival Co-Founder and CEO Jane Rosenthal. “We Are One: A Global Film Festival unites curators, artists, and storytellers to entertain and provide relief to audiences worldwide.”

Not only will viewers have the ability to watch films from every corner of the world, but they may also support local communities suffering from the effects of the coronavirus by donating to the World Health Organisation’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.

Audiences will be mesmerised by a vast program that will include feature films, shorts, documentaries, music, comedy, and conversations.

“In working with our extraordinary festival partners and YouTube we hope that everyone gets a taste of what makes each festival so unique and appreciates the art and power of film.” (MMo)
