In a fast, smart World, at least until a few years ago where it was important to be first, now slowed and stopped by the effects of #CORONAVIRUS many we wonder how to use that time. Certainly not to be bored but rather to reflect on the great issues of Humanity. And here is a red light for wondering:

Who we are, where we come, but above all where we go.

The #CORONAVIRUS shows us the meeting abyss to which we are going and therefore the motto "Let us pause to reflect"It seems appropriate. We will try to understand regarding the branch of cinema what it means.

First multiply the initiatives to use new media in a useful way for what is happening, and so it is only yesterday the launch (Also from these pages) commendable MYmovies service streaming movies of authors until early April. (#IORESTOACASA).

On the other hand there are those who resist and try to move forward the dates of the countless festivals (hundreds) taking place both in Italy and abroad as reported on (CINEUROPA). However there seems ephemeral move a few decades gatherings of people in confined places as it is a movie theater. The cinema was born as a social gathering to start projection from that fateful train it seemed to invest a whole auditorium at the end of the nineteenth century and is still one of the CINEMA ICON, (VIDEO) but maybe it's time to stop has come to reflect.

Then we realize that certain patterns of social life so far "untouchable" suddenly become dust. They understand the organization of the MIPTV vertices that was deleted from the manifestations of the people of Cannes festival. E 'yesterday's news reported in Variety precisely the launch of MipTV ONLINE Plus of which we present below the translated full text.

Certainly as far as productions become much more difficult as it is for the industry in general that inexorably is stopping, but in the meantime if something can be saved in the interim that we do so using the tools that are often used in boring chat or even worse for those helpless bullizzare. In this regard it the recent Franco Belgian film comes to mind at the Berlinale. It is Clear history (Delete History) France / Belgium Benoît Delépine, Gustave Kervern in the First World that shows how the Berlinale welcome in the main section but also lighter films with strong social connotations. The cast consists of Blanche Gardin, Denis Podalydès, Corinne Masiero is really hilarious. The film should give pause, Instead the exit of the room were all focused on the smartphone to not lose who knows what a !

Other examples in recent days we find them on important publications such as Variety that the 16 March and a few days before IndieWire relaunched the news appeared on Point the possible doomsday scenarios which meets the Festival de Cannes. Cannes is indeed the first Festival with the Film Festival Venice Film Festival for his role in the last century the meaning of aggregation among people with the advent of the Seventh Art. However, the analyzes are based on outdated assumption fact make a comparison with the 1968 that shocked the entire system of power does not make sense. In 1968 Internet at least as we know and use today was not invented yet.

But what little we know the strong spirit of Thierry Fremaux, great lover of cinema, we're sure you will find an answer to our motto beyond ideological blocks that stand in the way classical Film Industry with the new emerging giants such as Netflix and Amazon. For what concerns us we hope a joint effort between all the above interests you represent.

Here, for example, what it promises for the Film Market at the Cannes Film Festival appeared yesterday on Variety

In this regard, we note that among the festival for some years we frequent because we love is to Locarno which already in very difficult times adopted for members of the trade the streaming of films and we confess that this system has allowed us to recover some goodies otherwise not feasible. Similarly Venice, providing IMDb offers a sampling, although restricted, of films presented in the show room, also in virtual rooms that at the time of #CORONAVIRUS They are the only way for vehicular safety in bacteria but not the CULTURE.

Do not forget, however, that the film industry with its complex supply chain including festivals, intermediate ring between the production and the distribution in the room, He is suffering a massacre and then the appeal of’ AFIC – ASSOCIATION FESTIVAL OF ITALIAN CINEMA: REQUESTS TO THE MINISTRY AND I sent FESTIVAL It can not be circumvented by MiBAC. Regarding we report with separate article.
