COVID-19's Effect On Upcoming Festivals

Updated: Aug 25, 2020

There are a number of festivals planned through June that have made COVID-19-related updates on their fests. You can find a list of them below.

The decision to cancel or postpone a festival does not come lightly and it is heartbreaking for the theaters and producers who come to these decisions.
