This year, the F
ar East Film Festival of Udine
comes home: after a completely digital edition in 2020 and 2021's blended edition, where audiences both streamed movies and watched them in the Visionario,
the “Giovanni da Udine” Teatro Nuovo resumes its
historic role as FEFF HQ. And after two editions held in summer, the programming dates return to their traditional place in the calendar: in fact FEFF 24 and the online section will be taking place
from 22 to 30 April.
The verb "to return", never before so loaded with meaning (and we all know why), refers to a place, a time and, obviously, to the details of the accreditation campaign:
the Red Panda, the White Tiger and the Black Dragon are all back (info on
www.fareastfilm.com/eng/info/accreditation). Three packages that Fareasters know well and which are on sale at a special price until 7 March.
The Red Panda pass, valid for the entire duration of the Festival (except the online section) and also available in an "under 26" version, gives the pass holder admission to 4 films per day of their choosing. The White Tiger pass, valid for the entire duration of the Festival (and including the online section), also available in an "under 26" version, allows admission to all programmed films. The Black Dragon pass, valid for the entire duration of the Festival (online section included), allows admission to all programmed films and includes the reservation of a seat chosen by the pass holder in their name. And each type of pass also includes a series of benefits and discounts.
Don't forget that accreditations for the online section of FEFF 24 will be on sale from the end of March.
Founded in 1999 and now the largest European outpost of Asian cinema, the Far East Film Festival has constantly been a home away from home for authentic legends like Jackie Chan and Joe Hisaishi, cult directors like Johnnie To and Takashi Miike, stars, divas and key players. Inclusive and pop culture-friendly, the FEFF doesn't finish after the nine days of the festival but continues throughout the year via film and television distribution, home video and even streaming, with the Fareastream digital platform.
