Este artículo está disponible en inglés.

It seems as though it’s not only the coronavirus that’s spreading these days, but also e-mails from film festivals announcing cancellations or postponements. After the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival, SXSW, Bifest and a clutch of other gatherings, the organisers of the Visegrad Film Forum, mere days before the start of its ninth edition, have released a statement saying, “Based on the current situation in Europe and Bratislava, aka the spread of the COVID-19 virus, we’ve decided to cancel the current edition of our event, which was to be held from 10-14 March. We will let you know whether we will cancel VFF completely or just put it off to a later date.” They added that, as of 9 March, there were only five diagnosed cases of the coronavirus in Slovakia, but the reason for the event’s cancellation is to “avoid the spread of infection”.
