New to the Festival this year, Transatlantic Stars brings a select group of award-winning EU filmmakers together for an honest conversation about what it means to make work across borders in this moment.
EU storytelling has long insisted on depth over spectacle, the particular over the universal, the community as much as the individual. This conversation explores what happens when those values travel — what they encounter, what they discover, and what audiences around the world stand to gain when they do.
For filmmakers, it’s a frank exchange about navigating different systems and finding your audience across cultures. For everyone else, it’s an invitation to think differently about what film is for and who it serves.
Come curious. Leave with more than you expected.
The five European filmmakers will be in conversation with International Festival Programmer and board member, Lillian Lennox.
