In the meantime, the fest took the SXSW route and opted to migrate some of its selected titles to online platforms in an effort to keep the filmmaking community connected. This year's jurors included Danny Boyle, Regina Hall, Lucas Hedges, and Pamela Adlon. "We are fortunate that technology allowed for our jury to come together this year to honor our filmmakers," said Rosenthal. "Despite not being able to be together physically, we were still able to support our artists, which has always been at the heart of the Festival." "While we are not yet able to celebrate these incredible films at their premieres, we are so proud to celebrate them in partnership with our generous jurors through our 2020 Tribeca awards," said Festival Director Cara Cusumano. "The jury chose to recognize a daring, innovative, entertaining, diverse group of films and filmmakers, and the Festival is pleased to honor all of them with our first-ever virtual awards ceremony."

| New Zealand Film Festival To Shift Entirely Online - Variety Posted: 30 Apr 2020 04:09 AM PDT  The 2020 edition of the New Zealand International Film Festival will take place entirely online, after organizers conceded that the coronavirus crisis has made it impossible to pull off a conventional festival in theaters. "NZIFF At Home – Online will be a true film festival experience featuring world and New Zealand premieres of films each night, and including virtual red-carpet, and filmmaker Q&As and we can potentially invite more international guests to present their films to our festival audiences than ever before using virtual means," said Marten Rabarts, festival director who is curating his first edition. "Some films will be screened as special 'one-off' events, and many of the films presented will be exclusive to NZIFF and won't have other New Zealand screenings." Organizers said that Rabarts has received has assurances from key film distributors in Australia, New Zealand and around the world that they are committed to making the online edition work well. The film selection will be unveiled on June 22. The festival will run July 24 to August 2. New Zealand this week reduced its emergency response from level 4 to level 3, meaning that some internal work and travel restrictions have been altered. But disruption and border controls are expected to linger for week or months more. The country has had 1,129 confirmed cases of coronavirus and recorded 19 deaths from it. To achieve the digital transformation, the festival will upgrade its existing video on demand portal, and is working with our on-demand provider Shift72 to create a digital screening room, coupled with live streaming event possibilities on the festival's own website. "This is an extraordinary situation and we need to adapt and find a creative solution for 2020," said New Zealand Film Festival Trust chair Catherine Fitzgerald. Organizers said that they are committed to running a normal festival in theaters in mid-2021. Before that, in January, they aim to put on summer screenings in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin. Rabarts has shuffled the festival's progamming team. It is now headed by Michael McDonnell, alongside Sandra Reid, Nic Marshall, Ant Timpson, and Malcolm Turner. A quartet of international guest curators includes: Violeta Bava Alesia Weston, Bird Runningwater, and former Variety writer Vicci Ho. Popular on Variety |
| Soft2Bet donates to Malta Together Festival - European Gaming Industry News Posted: 30 Apr 2020 01:01 AM PDT  This weekend, England teammates Ben Stokes and Stuart Broad will be rivals as they compete in the Virtual Grand Prix at the Interlagos Circuit. Stokes will be racing for Red Bull a second time, whilst Broad is making his debut for AlphaTauri. Ahead of Sunday's race, both Stokes and Broad have been speaking about how they've been preparing along with sharing some thoughts on who is the better all-round sportsman… Who is the better all-round sportsman? Ben: When it comes to golf for me and Stuart – if we paid 20 times, it would be 11-9, 10 -10. We are very similar golfers, so it just depends who turns up and plays best on the day. I think he would happily admit I have him covered on the football field, although he considers himself a tactical genius. I can see him standing on the side of the football pitch in a suit ordering people around in terms of formation and what to do. Come in tight, push out wide, and all that kind of stuff. Stuart: With no hesitation, I have to say Stokesy is one of those mates that seems to be good at every sport he has a go at. I'm sat here trying to think of any sports I'd like to take him on 1v1 at.
Who would you say is the better driver between you? Ben: To be honest, Stu and I have been practicing together. Trying to give each other tips and things like that because we don't want to embarrass ourselves when it comes to race day. This is Stuarts the first time, so I have been giving him the tips that follow Red Bull athlete Alex Albon gave me it. I think we are both going to be better prepared than I was for the last race and we are both looking forward to it. Stuart: Better? Or Quicker? I'd suggest Stokesy gets to the cricket ground in the morning for training before me, even if he leaves after me… but you should see the state of his alloys… Sledging can be used quite effectively in cricket – do you think they'll be any mind games between the two of you? Ben: Not really from us, the mind will be totally on not making fools out of ourselves!! Stuart: It's an interesting one as we've actually been training together and working on strategies to help each other out for this race weekend (makes us sound like pros- were not, we just need all the help we can get!) I can genuinely say I hope we have a competitive battle. I think we're really close actually; we just need to avoid contact in the first few laps and control our brains. We do have a weakness in that we think we can overtake anywhere on the track! Be patient and pick our spots. Patient?! Ben Stokes?! This could be chaos… Are either of you big fans of F1/ have any heroes in the sport? Ben: Out of the both of us Stuart is definitely the bigger F1 fan. But over the last couple of months, I would say that I have taken a lot more interest in it, purely from the game and the Drive to Survive TV series. I didn't use to give it too much thought, but now I do take an interest. I haven't been to a race yet but will definitely go to the next race I am around for. I have always been into cricket and golf, but F1 now is one of the sports I would say I take a decent amount of interest in. Stuart: Love it. Always have done. I used to love watching it with my Dad when I was a kid. I've been very fortunate to have some wonderful experiences at races. My Dad & I went to Monza and Abu Dhabi with Red Bull at the time when Vettel & Webber were in the seats and we had brilliant weekends. Being up close to the cars just grows your enthusiasm for the sport. As cricketers, we always seem to check the cricket fixtures in early July as soon as they come out to see if they clash with Silverstone! I've found it to be one of those sports – a bit like NFL – where the more I've understood the strategy behind it, the more fascinating I've found it. Dream career if I wasn't a cricketer? And if I wasn't 6ft 6? A Formula 1 Driver… I have my virtual chance now.
