[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading auto_text=”yes” heading_semantic=”h3″ separator=”under” separator_color=”yes” sub_lead=”yes”]A Journey From Latin America to Latvia Through the Gaze of New Daring Directors[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]After its 4th edition in Berlin and its 1st in Mainz, Vision\u00e4r will go back to <\/span>Mainz<\/b> from the <\/span>29th\u00a0of October to the 1st of November 2020 <\/b>with a selection of feature-length films and short films.\u00a0CAPITOL&PALATIN will be the host.<\/span><\/p>\n

The goal of this year\u2019s Vision\u00e4r Film Festival Mainz is to discover up-and-coming young filmmakers from Northern Europe and to promote an exchange between them and the audience. We are convinced that the directors we show can open up new perspectives and visions on our society and thus contribute to important social debates. <\/span>The stories the filmmakers tell are as diverse as the different cultures of the Northern European countries: local and universal, empathic and abstract, analytical and stirring, daring and new.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The selected films are chosen to <\/span>represent, in an innovative cinematic way, the current state of the Northern European world.<\/b> We support feature-length films that overcome the traditional classifications of genres and are bold enough to take a look at the present: a present which oscillates between realistic, fantastic and political realities. <\/span>Through their subjective point of view, which can be read in the visual language and the stories told, they give insights into different cultures and realities of life. As ambassadors, they give contemporary insights into everyday life and bring other cultures closer to the audience by addressing contrasts and similarities. The medium of film is suited like no other to transport stories and emotions that everyone can understand. The pictures arouse feelings that speak a universal language.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Countries in focus of this year\u2019s edition are Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania and Sweden.\u00a0<\/span>Vision\u00e4r will offer a selection of first\/second feature films, short films and the homage to a well established director.<\/span><\/p>\n
