Moments Not To Miss

THE MELCHIOR TRILOGY, THE PHILIPINE CINEMA OR THE TRIBUTES

THE FESTIVAL IS PROUD TO BRING IN ITS LINE–UP THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES OF MODERN TIMES, NOW CREATIVELY TRANSFORMED.

From the consequences of war to the individual struggle with mental health or poverty. From the ethics in science to the difficulties of the artists and writers. From the condition of the women in the world to human trafficking. From the exploitation of old people to child abuse. From the gentrification of modern cities to the perennity of the differences in societies. These important subjects are present both in the features and shorts of the competitions and in the Retrospectives of this 43rd edition, dedicated to the Filipino Cinema of producer Ferdinand Lapuz and to the Spanish distribution Freak Agency.

Other highlight is the screening of the Estonian medieval saga “Melchior”, by stage and film director Elmo Nüganen, three extraordinary features that will please the lovers of History and “The Name of the Rose”, and fine examples of the film production capacity of Estonia. Two Tributes, both coming from the UK: the celebration of the 25 years of the release of the awarded feature “Darklands” by Julian Richards, and “Mute Witness”, a thriller by Anthony Waller.
