Memory as the Guiding Theme
This year’s theme of the review is memory, understood in several dimensions: personal, collective, historical and emotional. The selection of films is meant to respond to precisely this theme, and each of these dimensions may serve as a separate point of reference for the viewer.
The festival takes the form of a review in which several titles from different countries form a shared, thematic whole. This structure makes it possible to compare how different cultures and histories tell the story of the past.
