The best auteur cinema produced or co-produced today in Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Slovenia: works of fiction, hybrids, documentary forms and/or animation with a commitment to quality and courage in contemporary cinema. The discovery of young talent will be accompanied by the presentation of the latest works of established directors. Particular attention will be given to hybrid forms, to ‘contaminated’ cinema, to cinema on geographical, political and formal borders, and to the cinema of minorities and the periphery.
