The Festival is a space for artistic freedom; here are a few tips to help you enjoy it to the fullest:
Marked in green on the schedule: Screenings specifically tailored for young audiences, with the recommended minimum age indicated.
The rest of the program is generally intended for a “mature” audience. Generally for ages 14 and up, unless otherwise noted: some screenings include a content warning (!) while others are family-friendly for ages 10 and up (*)
For audience members who would like details on sensitive topics featured in the films, you can now refer to the Trigger Warning.
Closing Night: ‘Sowing Doubt’ 1/2
To bring the Festival to a close, two programmes of short films that blur the lines and plunge us into uncertainty: lie or truth? Fiction or reality? All doubts are welcome!
