Specials

This year’s Specials could not be a more diverse line-up: women’s football, film history, self-portraits and portraits of others, the last workshop discussion with Sophie Maintigneux, retrospectives and questions about the future and a grand panel discussion on film culture in the city and in the country. But in all cases, the focus is on the power of cinema to bring people together and engage in dialogue. Each of these specials is an invitation to discover something new and engage in lively discussions afterwards.
