The “Forum & Friends” program shows selected films from the Forum special and main program, extending it beyond the festival line-up in order to contextualize and widen the perspective.
The third block of the Forum & Friends series is dedicated to the documentary works of the Minsk-based Studio Tatyana, the only independent “women's film and video studio” in the former USSR. Founded in 1991 by camerawoman Tatyana Loginova and the screenwriters and directors Ella Milova and Irina Pismennaja, it carried out a wide range of film production and mediation work.
From July 24 to 28 Forum & Friends is dedicated to the memory of director Thomas Heise, who died in May 29 and whose films were shown regularly in the Forum program.
After the festival is before the festival: films from the Forum and the Forum Special program and beyond. With films by Alexander Horwath, Park Soo-nam, Anka Schmid, Agnes Barmettler, James Danaqyumptewa, Maria Lassnig and Tereza Trautman.
