Screen International is hosting a series of online screenings, focused on - but not limited to - the international feature awards race.
This initiative is designed to enable each country to organise an event around their submission.
For the second year, Screen is partnering with Archipel Market, a film market platform powered by Cascade8, enabling industry professionals to interact and replicate film market activities online, all year round.

Reinsve stars as a twenty-something woman who begins this turbulent romantic drama as a medical student and later pursues various creative avenues.
Screening date: March 4
Flee - Denmark (Jonas Poher Rasmussen)
Coming off a festival run that brought it kudos including Sundance’s world cinema documentary jury prize and Annecy’s best feature Cristal, Flee is a major contender in both documentary and animated feature categories, and has earned three Oscar and two Bafta nominations. Writer/director Rasmussen and a multinational producing team tell the story of a man who, on the verge of marriage to his boyfriend, reveals the secrets of his journey from Afghanistan to Denmark as a child refugee. Neon released in the US in December.
Screening date: March 7
Spencer (Pablo Larrain)
The latest from Larrain is a portrait of Princess Diana, teetering on the cusp of marital breakdown. In common with Jackie, his previous film about a high-profile woman in crisis, the focus here is likely to be on the central performance, in this case a memorable turn from Kristen Stewart, who is nominated for best actress at the Oscars.
Screen date: March 8
