Panorama
In the three “Panorama” programmes, we showcase current short films that are not screened in competition. They may get under your skin, but they will also inspire you to reflect, to dream and to laugh.
The films in “Panorama 1: What’s Love Got to Do With It?” explore the question of what kind of love determines relationships. The focus is on lust and desire, but also the search for intimacy and understanding (“Nun or Never!”, “Carrotica”, “Bug Diner”). While “ÉTÉ 96”, “Windows From the South” and “I Am Here” illustrate how every relationship has an impact on the people involved, the relationship between brothers is put to the test in “Beautiful Men”.
In the programme “Panorama 2: Living With Planet Earth”, life isn’t easy and hurdles are part of life. The fragile coexistence of humans and animals is portrayed in “Zima”. The three films “There Are People in the Forest”, “Percebes” and “No Room” examine the mechanisms behind wars, mass tourism and the destruction of the environment. And living beings struggle with loneliness (“Tennis, Oranges”) as well as with the prospect of being taken over by artificial intelligence (“A Different Goal”).
The films in “Panorama Teens” are aimed at young people between the ages of 12 and 16. There are films about how friendships are tentatively formed and deepened during an excursion (“Amour et faux semblants”, “I Would Eat if I Could”). There are also films rendered like animated hidden pictures: “Butterfly” takes us through an imaginative ecosystem; “ECHOES” has the feel of an abstract sketchbook; and the action in “Statue” unfolds on a busy street. Lastly, “GIGI”, “Bunnyhood” and “Box Cutters” provide more intimate insights into personal experiences.
