Post-partum
Post-partum: what happens to the filmmaker and its participants after the film is released? One of the most common questions asked to filmmakers in Q&As are: « What happened to your characters/protagonists? Where are they now? » Sometimes, this question gets a happy answer, and other times a painful one. In this panel, filmmakers will be invited to talk frankly about the many contradicting feelings that arise after their films’ release, and the ethical conundrums they grapple with. Panelists: Dea Gjinovci (Wake up on Mars) Marija Zidar (Reconciliation) Samir Karahoda (In Between, Displaced) Ljubomir Stefanov (Honeyland) Moderated by Aliriza Arënliu 17:00 Saturday Shani Efendi GardenSaturday, August 6

Facing climate crisis, a burnt-out system of ecological networks, broken habitat connections, and lost cultural and language diversity on a planet battered by human atrocities, we are in survival mode. Bringing justice, plentitude, conviviality, and liveliness to all will be of primary concern for decades to come, as a tremendous test within the history of humankind. This calls for a culture and practice of resistance on the every day. Moderator: Defne Koryürek Panelists: Ares Shporta, Levon Bağış, Jeton Jagxhiu and Sevil Baştürk

The power of non-fiction films
The power of non-fiction films Non-fiction filmmakers around the world find pockets of truth, enchantment, tragedy, and hope in the represented lives of people who share the experience of being in a film.

How have filmmakers transformed the documentary form for our times? And has it become more relevant today?

War crimes, surviving the past, bearing the future
Filmmakers have often stood at the forefront of conflicts and wars, documenting and filming war crimes and their consequences to get global attention. But, how different is it to film for evidentiary purposes that can later be used in a court of law? What can be learned from the experiences and perspective of the Balkans wars vis-à-vis the war in Ukraine? And what does justice look like for survivors and victims of war crimes?
