The Film Program of the Festival of Tolerance comprises current films screened at some of the most significant world film festivals and awarded with some of the most prestigious awards.
SPECTRUM
The Spectrum Programme represents a selection of current globally significant feature films on the topic of the Holocaust, human rights and current social problems. The Spectrum Programme will screen films of high production standards that are both easy to understand and highly attractive, i.e. intended for a wide audience. In the selection, particular attention was given to films from the so-called film festival circuit awarded at prestigious festivals.
REALITY BITES
The thematic context of the Festival of Tolerance dictates the selection of films on the topic of the Holocaust, human rights and other key contemporary as well as historical social problems. As such, the Festival’s programme would be unimaginable without documentary films. The programme named Reality Bites highlights the quality, immediacy, measure and power of a good documentary with the aim to show the global dimension and universality of individual issues.
TOLERANCE ON THE EDGE
Films from this section are characterized by a strong auteurial stamp; they are controversial, often raw and ruthless, but most importantly: utterly original and powerful. Tolerance on the Edge is a new programme of the Festival of Tolerance, which turns to arthouse, hybrid but also genre films, i.e. films whose stylistic and content features do not fit in the usual mainstream festival programming.
GOING SPACES
Although it is primarily related to the entertainment industry, virtual reality no longer exists in this field alone. Art installations, space and period documents, and entire worlds have become accessible to the audience, which has been turned from passive observers into active participants. VR media is also a medium of direct experience, which is particularly interesting for the Festival of Tolerance, especially discussing projects aimed at stimulating empathy or causing catharsis.
The Program Going Spaces is carried out in cooperation with UNHCR.
