The silence of the boat, the silence of the river, the silence of the crossed cities, the silence of the deserted factories, the silence after the crash of bombs, the deadly silence, the silence before the disaster. The silence at the approach of the border, the silent passage of the warriors and the migrants. The infinity between two banks.

October 5th - 16th, 2012
We present film series focused on 16 different countries and regions. This section intends to discover and explore different spaces and cultures with the aim to understand the specific regional, political and social circumstances, do reconstruct the emotional and intellectual spécificities of a special region or country. In this critical work we belief it's essencial to prefer films which rufuse, in its form and expression, the retake of sterotype ways of reality restituition, as an act of resistance in the actual period of "globalisation", which inclins to impose one dominating model of culture and habitutes.
