*CFP: NECSUS (Film festivals review section), Film Festivals and COVID-19*

Film festivals around the world feel the impact of the outbreak of the
COVID-19 virus. Events are cancelled, postponed or shift to online
happenings. For the open access journal NECSUS we specifically solicit
"festival reviews" that deal with film festivals in the context of
COVID-19. What tactics and strategies are employed to face the current
crisis in the festival world? Possible topics to consider include:
- discussion of festival decision-making: cancellation, postponement, going
digital, etc....
- review of alternative (online) festival programming
- turning your eye to the digital competition: whose filling the current
gap?
- review of (lack of) national support measures to protect organizations
and professionals
- curating at a time of social distancing

Contributions are max 2,500 words. For other guidelines see
https://necsus-ejms.org/review-submissions/.
Deadline for submission will be late August.

If you are interested in contributing, please contact the section editors
Marijke de Valck (m.devalck at uu.nl) and Antoine Damiens (
Antoine.damiens at mail.mcgill.ca) with a short proposal.
Necsus | Review Submissions<https://necsus-ejms.org/review-submissions/>
Festival Review Submissions. The NECSUS film festival review section
publishes critical writing on film festivals. It offers a platform for
writing that falls between the fast and prolific genre of individual
festival reports and the slow and rigorous labor of film festival research.
