Deadline’s Contenders Film Day 2 – Watch The Livestream

The second day of Deadline’s Contenders Film kicks off Sunday at 8 a.m. PT, returning after a big Day 1 on Saturday to complete a slate of 49 films from 16 studios and distributors, one that features a hugely impressive lineup of talent numbering 150 speakers over the course of the weekend for our annual awards-season event.

Click here to register and join the livestream, and follow along all day with coverage on Deadline as well as on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram via @Deadline and #DeadlineContenders. See the full schedule of panels below.

Due to obvious health and safety reasons, and following guidelines about gatherings set by the CDC, Contenders is going virtual, after success doing so starting with Contenders TV in the spring and then again with Contenders International and Contenders Documentary. It has boosted the global reach of the event, and although we miss seeing everyone in person, it has been exciting to include stars and filmmakers from around the world as they talk about their movies and share inside stories about bringing them to the screen.

Contenders Film: Deadline’s Complete Coverage

The motion picture industry has certainly been impacted by this pandemic, especially with movie theatres shut down in many places around the world, and that has in turn affected the way that we view those movies, thereby making this a season like no other. Though many films originally slated to be contenders for this awards season have shuffled off to next year and beyond, the sheer quantity, and fortunately quality of those you will see on display at our 2021 Contenders Film weekend is proof of a remarkably resilient industry.

Also, the interesting thing is that so many of the films on hand, although conceived and shot before the pandemic took hold, are so ironically relevant in light of the shutting down of normal life and the way we live now. Call it art imitating life, but the need for human connection is real, and that is why, in our own way, we carry on the tradition of The Contenders—to keep us collectively connected to one thing we all have in common: our love for the movies.
