Screen 9

The films to be screened in Screen 9 experiment bravely with cinematic language, blurring the boundaries of genres and forms. The films in this year’s programme are filled to the brim with music and sounds—sometimes even the kind of sounds that reach you despite you having your ears covered. In resplendent flower gardens, there hide eroticism and spectacular landscapes, whether located out in the open air or found inside virtual worlds.

Competition

Restlessly ambitious, emerging directors never fail to surprise with their early mastery and stylistic distinctiveness. These women and men are keen to explore the possibilities of visual language, to reflect boldly on complicated social issues, to let sensitivity and a tenderly romantic attitude in. Most importantly, they offer audiences a fresh perspective and portend a bright future for Europe’s auteur cinema.
