Though the TCM Classic Film Festival was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, fans will still be able to watch this year's featured movies during quarantine. Here's how:
TCM Classic Film Festival organizers previously announced in an email to ticket buyers on March 12 that "we have made the difficult decision to cancel" the April event and "all pass purchases will be refunded 100%."
"After talking to our festival partners, as well as the actors, directors and writers who had committed to attending, we didn't feel we could ask all of you — in good conscience — to come to Los Angeles for the festival," Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz said in a video explaining the decision.
This year's festival was set to be held from April 16-19 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX, Egyptian Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard as well as the Legion Theater at Post 43. Pass prices for the fest had ranged from $349 to $2,449 with individual tickets from $20. Over 300,000 people around the world have tested positive for coronavirus, with 40,000 of those people being in the United States. In response, a growing number of high profile events have been canceled or postponed, such as Coachella, SXSW, the Billboard Music Awards, the Met Gala and the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
