20:20 THE SHORTEZT HOUR
Due to the new Covid-19 restrictions, our venue De Kring is closed. The remainder of the season’s programme will be online. Our new fully online format is called: 20:20 The Shortezt Hour.
To compensate for people’s slightly reduced attention span when watching online, we’ll switch to hosting a shorter session every night of the week, with each night dedicated entirely to one film and their team.
How will this work:
At 20:20 CET every night from November 5th ‘til November 30th, we will host 20:20 The Shortezt Hour and stream it live on our Facebook page and YouTube channel.
Each session of The Shortezt Hour will include the screening of your film followed by a Q&A not just with the filmmaker but this invitation is extended to the key team members too (filmed in advance at a time of your convenience - we will send you soon an email with some scheduling options).
In order to ensure the safety and protection of your work in an online environment, we have are keeping the online conditions we had before:
The screening will be streamed in low quality (720pp).
Films will contain two watermarks.
Films will be only available to be viewed for 24h, after this time it will be deleted.
