Panorama

Is mainstream not your thing? Bored by the stock fare served up by commercial cinema? Welcome to Panorama: the film-makers in this section embrace the experimental, and are fearless in their exploration of not just the thematic but also the formal boundaries of film-making. Critical documentaries, innovative experimental projects as well as short films ranging from art to music videos show us what young film-makers are currently up to.

Dreamlike
Dream and trauma lay one on top of the other like templates, questioning one another or going hand in hand with each other. Political decisions alter living spaces and cut wounds into people’s biographies. Childhood memories turn into a scavenger hunt of our own emancipation; and in a Panamanian museum, tender longings surprise the bastion of old age. But what counts as dreaming for others but dreamlike for ourselves? In this section’s films, girlfriends wonder where their light-heartedness has gone, traditions are invoked in the jungle, and, in rural isolated places, campfire sparks trace a picture in the sky, prompting us to ask ourselves: What are you dreaming about?
