The topic of 2015 – “IDENTITY”

This year, the main topic of the 3rd Film Festival will be “Identity.” There will be a festival section about 15 films, a photography exhibition and an panel discussion focusing on the main topic.

There are so many different identities: Cultural identity, social identity, Sexual identity, religious identity

Identity something so blurry but can be so clear at the same time. Identity, linked to our language and our cultural background, to our passion or job, to our family or home country. Or is identity something which is only socially constructed and does not exist at all? Playing with identity can be a game, creating your identity, how you want the world to perceive you…Or is Identity something essential, something that we cannot switch on and of the way we want it? Some people will always be stigmatized by a certain identity. Others have the luxury to switch between different identities just the way it suits them. During the festival we want to explore the different aspects of identity providing a platform for all the diverse perspectives on the topic.
