A big THANK YOU, dear partners, collaborators, and authors for an inspiring and beautiful festival!

The Grand Jury have unanimously reached a decision to jointly award three works with the Grand Prix and to give one special mention.

As we wait for tonight’s award ceremony, let’s cosy in just a bit longer at the MM Centre and SC Cinema and enjoy the poetic reflections on darkness and alienation.

Jury's Choice by Deborah Stratman at 16, two competitions at 18 and 20, and Rattling the Bones, take 2 by Bruce McClure. 

Throughout all these years of ‘expanded cinema’ programme we learned that film does not even need shooting equipment. Actors, editing, screenplay, set… everything is optional. 
 

A cinematic vision of home in exile or how we structure memories of places that mean something to us where we are far away is the focus of the section Films in Place of Places (16:00), the first in the series presented by our jury members. George Clark, British curator and artist, is composing a sort of mosaic auto-bio-geography made out of works by authors from the places he visited, armed with his 35 mm camera and a wish to connect people through the universal feeling of homesickness.
