The SCAD Savannah Film Festival announced today that it’s 2020 edition will be fully virtual, following many fall festivals reacting to the COVID-19 pandemic. The festival will continue to include film premieres and interactive programming for virtual attendees in what has become the new normal. The line up will also feature the on-going series festival goers know and love from previous years including the Docs To Watch and Wonder Women series. Awards Daily will be covering the festival among many others throughout the fall.

Here is the full press release for today’s announcement.

Savannah, Georgia — The Savannah College of Art and Design announces the return of the SCAD Savannah Film Festival in an all-virtual presentation October 24–31, 2020. Audiences can connect with cinephiles worldwide as they experience live film premieres and unique, interactive programming from the comfort and safety of their homes.

Ticket sales begin Thursday, October 1, at 10 a.m. ET, when the full schedule of programming is released.

SCAD has screened more than 125 Oscar-nominated films and honored more than 90 legendary actors, directors, producers, writers, and filmmakers. The festival’s competition films, panels, workshops, Q&As, and class visits unite these leading professionals with SCAD students across a range of degree programs including performing arts, film and television, dramatic writing, production design, sound design, and visual effects.
