The Coronavirus is having a widespread impact on people, governments, businesses, and events around the world, and the Fantaspoa Film Festival announced that it will postpone this year's event, with plans to launch "Fantaspoa at Home" to offer seven feature films every week at www.fantaspoaathome.com starting April 1st:
Porto Alegre, Brazil - 24 March 2019 - It is with great sorrow and heavy hearts that the Fantaspoa Film Festival announces that it will postpone its upcoming 16th edition due to the Covid-19 pandemic currently sweeping the world. Initially scheduled for this coming May, the festival directors forecast that this year's edition will now take place between the months of October and December, 2020, if deemed responsible and safe at that time.
Due to executive decisions made by the Brazilian government prior to this unprecedented health crisis, Fantaspoa and countless other organizations dedicated to the arts were stripped of all federal sponsorship money.
