This year, as the pandemic continues, the film marathon will be re-created in a similar manner,  the festival program will be organized in successive impressions, each film will be available for viewing during a specific session just on the day, following the time zones of each country.

Everywhere in the world, the marathon will start on May 4 at 11:00 (local time) with an animation for children. Detailed program and schedule is to follow at the end of April on NKC website.
