The Tel Aviv International LGBT Film Festival took place in a virtual format and featured hundreds of films that were available for viewing online alongside livestreamed events and online talks with filmmakers from around the world.

Video captain, Itay Filiba, directed the festival’s opening and closing events, while instructing the camera crews and staff remotely. These events included live stage performances, over 11 speakers from around the world, and many video clips embedded throughout the program. He also directed live talks with film actors who joined from afar, such as Zachary Quinto (Spock from the Star Trek films) and Jackie Weaver (two-time Academy Award nominee). In these talks, selected scenes from the actors’ films were presented and the audience was invited to ask the speakers questions in real-time.

Itay assisted in planning the virtual events and building the lineups; he designed an impressive graphic scheme and advised us on how to enhance the events visually and programmatically. During the live broadcast, Itay managed the events calmly and confidently, orchestrating the speakers and performers without a hitch and responding quickly to any developments and changes that occurred. The service we received from Itay was professional, innovative and creative. It helped us produce quality live video content, which we could also use later on our social media and website.

I highly recommend Itay's services to anyone interested in producing professional live video content in an exceptional way and on par with TV broadcast.
