Beijing film fest goes online during holiday

Movie buffs, lo and behold!

Here comes the bash where you can enjoy movies, all the good ones, to your heart's content.

The long-overdue 2020 Beijing International Film Festival, which was postponed because of the coronavirus outbreak, will finally be happening right on your screen, slated to run on online video platform iQiyi, over the upcoming five-day May Day holiday.

Themed "Spring Online Screenings", the event is curated by renowned filmmakers such as director Chen Kaige. A total of 32 domestic and foreign films, kicked off by Oscar-winning Marriage Story, will be showcased throughout the event. In addition, two highly anticipated domestic films Spring Tide and Wonder in the Temple will be exclusively screened at the festival.

As in past years, snapping up tickets also factors in this year's event, so moviegoers have to grab their own tickets to view the three films mentioned above.

Here is the schedule for the festival's online screenings. Set your clock and get in a festive mood!
