    IBC cancels Amsterdam event as COVID cases surge

    LONDON --

    IBC has announced that the in person IBC2021 broadcast technology event has been canceled. The move follows growing concerns about the COVID-19 situation in The Netherlands, which has deteriorated over the past week, and feedback from the IBC exhibitor and visitor community-

    The IBC Partnership Board made the decision today (11/23) in order to prevent exhibitors and visitors from traveling to The Netherlands.

    Due to take place on December 3-6 at The RAI in Amsterdam, IBC20201 will now focus on bringing the content and technology community together online.

    Dutch coronavirus infection numbers reached a new weekly record today, climbing 39% while hospital and intensive care unit admissions also rose sharply, prompting the government to make social distancing mandatory again for all adults.

    The latest report by the country’s public health institute on a surge in COVID-19 cases came a day after the Dutch government introduced legislation that would clear the way to restrict access for unvaccinated people to indoor venues such as bars, restaurants and museums if infections keep rising.

    The legislation would limit the country’s COVID-19 pass system to people who are fully vaccinated or have recovered from a coronavirus infection. People could no longer get the health pass with negative tests. The bill is expected to be debated by lawmakers next week.

    Stadium Signs Director Duncan Winecoff For U.S. Representation

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    Stadium has added director Duncan Winecoff to its roster for commercial representation in the U.S. Winecoff has directed campaigns for brands such as Porsche, BMW, Canon, Oura, Sephora, New Balance, McDonald’s and Faherty, among others.

    Raised between Nova Scotia and Ojai, Calif., in a family of Tibetan Buddhists, Winecoff has a diverse background which instilled in him a profound sense of authenticity and reflection. His journey to directing began in New York City, where he explored filmmaking alongside his brother, DP and photographer Stuart Winecoff. This collaborative, self-taught foundation has shaped Duncan Winecoff’s approach, blending insight with technical skill.

    Prior to joining Stadium, Winecoff had been repped by Object & Animal. He is an alum of SHOOT’s 2017 New Directors Showcase

    “Duncan’s work reflects the balance we strive for at Stadium--creative that connects on a deeper level while meeting the demands of modern production,” said Samy Mosher, founder and CEO of Stadium. “He’s got the vision, versatility, and a refreshing approach that aligns perfectly with our goals to elevate every project, regardless of scale. He’s the kind of talent that instinctively enhances every script and understands the art of collaboration.”

    Winecoff said, “Stadium is defining what production can mean in an era where audiences demand more connection and substance. I’m excited to be part of a team that values their role as a creative partner as much as I do and is dedicated to pushing creative boundaries while staying grounded in what the project truly needs.”

    Winecoff has already been awarded multiple projects with Stadium, including a forthcoming global campaign for Callaway Golf.
