A new unifying initiative marks this 30th edition: After Projections. After each double competition screening, the conversation continues beyond the theatre in a relaxed and welcoming setting through informal Q&A sessions. For each event, two to four filmmakers are selected based on the thematic and artistic connections between their films and creative approaches. Over a drink, in a specially arranged space in the lobby, audiences are invited to meet and engage with a selection of filmmakers who have marked their evening, and to learn more about their work, their creative process, and their upcoming projects.
