«MOVING MOUNTAINS» FOCUS
Against the background of the health, economic and social crisis we are going through, we have chosen to devote this year’s Focus to the theme of commitment. This programme of more than 10 films under the title «Moving Mountains» has been designed to enable us to reflect the current and future changes in society through the lens of good ideas to be shared and actions which may arise from them by using cinema as a tool of reflection, a window onto Europe and the challenges of today and tomorrow.
