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.
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.
