CHOOSE YOUR PATH

You won’t catch every film because the festival is build for choice.

Here’s how it works:

  • Choose one from Programs 1, 2, or 3

  • Choose one from Programs 4 or 5

  • Choose one from Programs 7 or 8

Everyone comes together for the Awards Ceremony and Program 6.

Plan your day based on what excites you. Follow your interests, explore new perspectives, and build a path that’s entirely your own.

Note: Films marked with [MS] are Multi-Screeners, and appear in more than one program. If you miss one, you might catch it later in the day.
