filled with memories and hallucinations.

Thought Broadcasting is a film about psychosis and surveillance. A
composite of fact and fiction, the film draws upon real-life accounts
of a schizophrenic disorder: the belief that ones thoughts are being
transmitted and heard by others. Set against the proliferation of
mobile phone masts in the urban and rural landscape, the film reveals
a fragmented inner world of paranoid delusions and acute anxiety,
off-set by revelations of mass surveillance and data gathering by
government security agencies. Filming locations include a psychiatric
video recording studio, an abandoned broadcast television station, and
a military base used for mass communications monitoring and
interception.

November 23 - December 3, 2017
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.
