Panorama 2023: Tracking the Unseen. Films as Tools of Resistance

Films from Ukraine, Yemen and about Iran are among the first to have been confirmed for the Panorama line-up which also features strong feminist cinema from the US. The 2023 programme manifests a worldwide trend towards transnational filmmaking in both fiction films and documentaries. Of the 14 films selected, 11 are world premieres, with a total of 19 countries involved. There are new films by Sepideh Farsi, Jennifer Reeder, Tina Satter, Sacha Polak, Malene Choi and Ira Sachs.

Generation

Generation 2023: The World In View

Generation confirms the first films of the Generation Kplus and Generation 14plus competitions: nine short films and nine full-length films, among them eleven world premieres and eight feature-length film debuts. The first films confirmed so far hint at a programme that embraces both perceptive assessments of the state of the world as well as fantastical assertions of personal truths – in both content and cinematic language.
