Special Screenings

This year, the festival celebrates an exciting milestone: 40 years of audacity, innovation, and groundbreaking cinema. As part of the official 40th-anniversary celebrations, we are proud to present a special retrospective program, bringing to the screen the short student films of contemporary cinematic giants who began their journey and shaped the festival's DNA over the past four decades. This festive collection invites the audience on a cinematic journey through time, offering a fascinating glimpse into the student films and early works of those who, over the years, became masters of local and global cinema. The 40th-anniversary celebrations are a rare opportunity to experience the living connection between past and future, between the generation that paved the way, and the next generation walking it now.
