The 22nd edition of the prestigious Udine Far East Film Festival came to an end on Saturday night.
The Festival, originally scheduled like every year at the end of April, was forced to postpone the event due to the COVID19 emergency. While cinemas remained closed indefinitely, FEFF22 moved online with a special edition in partnership with the streaming platform MYmovies.it
The public was invited to follow the Festival schedule and the daily chats and interviews, to simulate the routine of the beloved Festival, and even in this online edition, it was possible to vote for the Awards. Waiting for the next edition – already scheduled for 23rd of April to 1st of May – let's have a look at the winner of this year.
