The training programme, taking place from August 31 to September 6, will have this year a special focus on the effect that a crisis, such a pandemic, have on the cinema exhibition and what solutions can be applied to face such a challenging time. The workshop on how to (re)start a cinema is one of the key points of ACAM programme, and this year it will cover an important role also in the perspective of regaining the audience trust in the cinema-going experience.
ACAM 2020 will also follow the film market trends of going online: we will be offering our trainees extra contents, available digitally, to expand the range of useful and relevant topics for cinema exhibition. Trainees will have the chance to access blueprints and learn from best practice of successful cinema managers.
We are in touch with the staff of San Servolo Servizi, host venue of the training programme, who ensured us the feasibility of the course. The campus island is equipped and ready to host guests in its facilities, with COVID-19 safety measures, providing the reception and other common spaces with hand-disinfectant, and assuring extra cleaning for linings, and towels.
In addition, the Venice Film Festival has confirmed its dates (2-12 September). CICAE is collaborating once again with the Venice Production Bridge to bring the training programme within the framework of the Venice Film Market, with a round table open to the all the film professional guests of the festival.
