What happens when child miners from the DRC abandon the mines for a
new life? They go to school, start businesses and stop dying at a
young age. A rare and timely look at the dangers of DR Congo's
artisanal mining sector that powers our digital age.

PATIENT is the word that defines us as we follow medical

October 1 - 9, 2016
An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
