The year 2020 is a blend of challenges, innovations, and triumphs for the local movie scene



Strange, unpredictable, and seemingly never-ending.

The year 2020 is like an odd movie in itself with all its twists and turns that left us all puzzled, amused, and on the edge of our seats.

One of the hardest-hit industries throughout the pandemic is the film industry.

The ensuing lockdown and restrictions halted shooting and production work and resulted in the cancellation of many related events like film festivals, award ceremonies, and celebrations.

However, the unprecedented situation has also led to a new way of thinking, paving the way for innovation to keep the film and entertainment industry afloat.

They say that necessity is the mother of reinvention. That adage couldn't have been truer in this situation.

So, with 2020 on its last legs, we take a look back at the highs, lows, and wins that marked the film industry this year.
