A conversation between two friends about the effectiveness and
implications of publicly stating support for the cultural boycott of
Israel. One friend is wracked with worry having signed a petition
asking Radiohead not to play Tel Aviv, the other is more sanguine.
Through their conversation we catch a glimpse of what it is to be a
Palestinian in today’s world.

When we think about science often we focus on the big discoveries: the
Higgs Boson! Gravitational waves! Sometimes maybe we forget about what
happens in between: there’s a bunch of people doing the systematic
work. At the border between Switzerland and France there's a citadel
called CERN, a global community of thousands of people working
together towards a common objective. How can they work for years -
sometimes decades - as a unique and enormous brainpower? What are they
looking for?

October 4 - 14, 2018
An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
