Italy's Far East Film Festival has postponed its April edition in response to the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus
Italy's Far East Film Festival, an influential specialty event that brings popular Asian cinema to Europe, has postponed its April edition in response to the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus.
The festival is held annually in the quaint Northern Italian town of Udine, to the east of the Lombardy region, where most of Italy's confirmed coronavirus cases have been found. By Thursday, the number of coronavirus infections in Italy had spiked to 650, with 17 deaths. Coming so close to the festival's planned launch, the sudden date change undoubtedly entails myriad logistical challenges for the organizers and their partners. But with the public health situation in Italy worsening by the day, it was clear that they had little choice.
