In the lobby, to the caisses and in the corridors : distancing and physical port of the mask advised
The distancing physical will remain, of course, like everywhere else. Wearing a mask will not be mandatory but strongly recommended in the traffic areas (boxes, lobby, queues) and it will be each asked to respect a distance of a meter between each person. To avoid the queues at the cashier, the sale of movie tickets through the Internet and kiosk will be encouraged. Failing this, the payment in cash should ideally be made by credit card towards the payment without contact.
Distributors of hydroalcoholic gel will be made available and the surfaces of the so-called ” contact “, such as stair railings and door handles, should be disinfected regularly. In order to avoid the contact, the doors of the chambers that remain open at the beginning and end of each session. To the extent possible, operators will have to leave as much as possible the doors of their premises are open to promote ventilation.
In movie theaters : an empty place between each member of the audience
The occupancy rate of the rooms will be limited, until further order, to 50%. In the rooms, it will be imperative to leave an empty seat between each viewer or each group of spectator. The people who come together (couples, families) will, of course, sit side-by-side.
The schedule of films will be adapted in order to allow time for the cleaning crews to pick up litter dropped by the audience between each session. Finally, the sessions of which take place in nearby rooms will be staggered. Goal again : to enable the detachment physics in avoiding the influx of people into a small space.
What sanitary measures on the sets ?
Of headaches for film crews, the distancing of the prescribed must be applied on location shooting of film. Interrupted for more than two months, they were able to resume at the end of may, but the actors and technicians must now deal with the threat of the coronavirus. A guide has been developed by the central Committees of hygiene, safety and working conditions of the production of audiovisual and cinema (CCHSCT). We learn in particular that in the case of the filming of scenes of kissing, crowd, or fight, rewriting the scenario or the use of inserts digital must be considered. The filming of a scene of kissing can only be done on a voluntary basis and specifies the CCHSCT, and will be preceded by a screening of the Covid-19 or of the outlet temperature of the actors.
Moreover, the actors, stuntmen, and all of the team members who are not able to meet continuously the distance of one meter between them shall wear a mask.
