Moderation: Claudia Novak/ Even an online film festival deserves a festive opening. That's why on Wednesday 11th November from 18:15 the opening is freely accessible to everyone on Festivee & at 21:00 on the website linzisfilmfestival.com, as well as via Dorf TV and Radio Fro. Moderator Claudia Novak will be present to welcome our guests: Rector of the University of Art and Design Linz Brigitte Hütter, festival director Parisa Ghasemi and festival manager Ashkan Nematian on stage. Further guests will be added virtually. Claudia Novak will present the programme with musical accompaniment and announce the nominations for the Linz ISFF 2020.
