Panorama 2026
Panorama Next Gen
In the “Panorama Next Gen” programme, stories packed with adventure, courage and surprising encounters await you. A left-handed snail sets out in search of true love (“T L’escargot gaucher”), a mysterious button on a bus causes chaos (“Service Bus”), and a young woman returns
to her homeland in search of answers to unresolved questions (“Como si la tierra se las hubiera tragado”).
The films deal with themes of friendship, family, identity and the desire to seek one’s own destiny. We discover social changes (“Yvan’s revelation”), follow a transgender teenager on her journey of self-discovery (“Eyeliner”) and discover other stories from ever-changing perspectives. At times humorous, sometimes thought-provoking and occasionally wonderfully whimsical, the films show that the most fascinating stories often begin just around the next corner.
