FILMSCAPES
The ›FILMSCAPES‹ are the IFFMH’s way of defying the boundaries of the sections.
Every year, our team discovers exciting, innovative and audacious films that don’t quite suit the concept of either ON THE RISE or PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES – or that suit both at the same time. These films, which we definitely want you to see, are our FILMSCAPES. They promise unique cinematic experiences, without which the IFFMH would be lacking something. In short, from our perspective, Filmscapes is making the programme of films complete.
