Among the many delights to be found in this year's Forum programme are the eclecticism and confidence of the next generation of independent filmmakers. After a year of global crises, economic instability, and military conflicts, this year's films surprise with their attention to detail, their willingness to draw from personal experiences, and their astonishing faith in their own filmic language. Despite their broad range of concerns, these young filmmakers share a readiness to see their medium as a challenge, instead of relying all too quickly on its universality: independent cinema at its best.
