We are interested in curating a programme with films that deal with being alive, a notion that focuses on experience, sensitivity and curiosity, rather than on categories embedded in cultural values and represented through language. Instead of reflecting on the question “who are we?”, we want to ask questions like “what matters to us?” and “what drives our existence?” We are looking for films that show a connection between filmmaking and living, where plot takes a secondary position to the cinematic presentation of life in film works that allude to the vitality of the everyday. These would be, for example, “slice of life” films or observational cinema.
