This year’s festival theme ‘B R E A T H E' is devoted to poetic and experimental approaches of sensory documentary filmmaking and sets a focus on those dimensions of world events that are difficult to approach solely by the means of language. Emphasising a cinema of the senses, we thus immerse ourselves in the realities of the lives of protagonists persistent in their quest for change. Whether personal destinies, political upheavals, moral or social controversies, religious conflicts or the climate crisis, in these turbulent times, faced with uncertainties and many open questions for the future, we address the beauty and goodness between the lines of cinematic narratives.
