The IFFTB is a festival which takes borders and frontiers in question, investigating about their problematic aspects and consequences.
Welcome are short films, documentaries, experimental documentaries and experimental works.
An important point for transcending borders is to spread real knowledge about the "other side", their human conflicts and realities. Films transcending prejudices and caricatures by just communicating real life conditions in the different countries are welcome. They already establish an important step to create understanding and tolerance.
Multi-nationality - Multi-ethnicity- Multi-religiosity, living together in a shared place… the ongoing migration movements will intensify the issues rising up here.
The festival wants to contribute to create a space of dialogue, knowledge, sensitivity and understanding for a peaceful and sustainable future. Evidently, this is one of the most challenging political and social global issue and task today. Reciprocal understandings, recognition, acceptance of differences, in short, tolerance are the most demanded qualities to avoid next wars of all kind.
BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA - BALKAN - EUROPE
In Europe, one of the most affected regions of these conflicts are without doubt the so-called post-Yugoslav ones. In their center we find Bosnia and Herzegovina. Therefore, we start here to "look around", to find films, fictional or documentaries, which let us understand better the rise of conflicts, the problems and barriers of communication, the hopes and fears of people confronted with permanent social and ecological menaces. False solutions are often presented as concepts based on national, ethical or religious separatism.
