YouTube is becoming the hub for the virtual film festival.
The streaming service said Monday that it will launch a free 10-day digital film festival this spring with 20 partners.
Dubbed “We Are One: A Global Film Festival,” the event will be produced and organized by New York’s Tribeca Enterprises. The YouTube-hosted event will feature programming from 20 top film festivals, including the Tribeca Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, Venice Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival.
The online event is set to run from May 29 to June 7 and it will be available at youtube.com/weareone. The free-to-watch programming, which will not include any ads, will stream a slew of feature films, shorts, documentaries, music, comedy and panel discussions.
For now, organizers aren’t identifying specific films expected to be screened, but they said a full schedule will be available in the coming weeks.
Viewers will be asked to make donations for COVID-19 relief, which YouTube and Tribeca said will benefit the World Health Organization and local orgs in regions globally.
