The Banff World Media Festival on Tuesday unveiled details for a virtual event due to COVID-19. And unlike Banff's earlier editions over 40 years, which usually took place over four days at the Banff Springs Hotel in the Canadian Rockies, the streaming version will span four months through September.
The 2020 Banff World Media Festival, initially set to run June 14-17, was earlier canceled amid the coronavirus pandemic. The replacement online-only festival will kick off May 26 with a master class for the TV adaptation of Snowpiercer, which airs on TNT and Netflix internationally and will stream for free on the official Banff website.
