Event description
A programme by young programmers exploring human wanderings and lost horizons. The experiences and goals of the seekers allow us to immerse ourselves in different narratives of travel.
The characters are strongly motivated to find the meaning of their lives - to understand their own nature and feelings. Wandering the streets in search of a brother, wandering the night streets of Boston trying to get home, longing for the past in war-torn Kiev, and the struggle to find a bench on the side of a highway. All of this forces the characters to seek answers to existential questions. N-13
"Young Programmers of the Hive of Art - in its seventh year, the Hive of Art's programme where senior high school students interested in cinema, accompanied by professional film curators, educators, and communication specialists, select films that are relevant to them, programme them for cinemas and festivals, and organise their presentations and publicise them. This initiative is part of the Young4Film network of European film festivals funded by the EU's Creative Europe MEDIA sub-programme and inspired by the international Moving Cinema project.
