This edition invites audiences to discover works highlighting individuals and groups who choose, or are compelled, to take different paths. These trajectories, defying norms and dominant narratives, offer alternative ways of interacting with their environment, resisting, and opening new perspectives.
Documentary cinema is celebrated for its ability to make visible minority struggles, often overlooked commitments, and marginalized voices. It captures the spirit of revolt, patient battles, and daily actions that challenge the established order and pave the way for other possibilities.
The "Against the Current" theme also delves into alternative lifestyles, such as ecological choices resisting productivist logic, forms of solidarity prioritizing the common good, and human-animal relationships questioning domination. These perspectives are manifested through concrete practices and local initiatives.
Finally, the event will also celebrate documentary filmmaking as an artistic gesture. Experimental, disruptive, and innovative forms will be presented, playing with narrative fragmentation, voice mixing, and the boundaries between reality and fiction, thereby challenging cinematic conventions.
