New programme - NOW

It is online NOW!

Finally we can present to you

*drumroll*

our program 2021!

During the last weeks, we had to adapt and reorganize a lot to provide a safer way of enjoying the festival.

Originally, we planed on a hybrid festival, taking place in cinemas AND online. Unfortunately some arrangements had to be made and now part of the program will be published online beginning on December 6th.

Tickets are available from November 25 on our Festival Hub.

Look up the new program *here*!

What's NEW?

Due to the current situation the this human world festival again has to take place online.

We are convinced, that we can provide a safer way of enjoying the festival this way. Originally, we planed on a hybrid festival, taking place in cinemas AND online. Unfortunately some arrangements had to be made and now part of the program will be published online beginning on December 6th with the animated Documentary FLEE.

We were able to organize additional screenings, Discussions and several Q&A's online. Every evening from 6.12. - 12.12. there will be several films on our festival hub. All films are available throughout Austria and can be streamed for a period of 48 hours at the this human festival hub.

Program release posponed

STAY TUNED for the program..

We wanted to announce our festival program today, but due to the current situation, we need to put that off.

Unfortunately we have to postpone the program release scheduled for today! The reason for this is the need for a short-term restructuring of the entire this human world festival edition in 2021.

Having to make fundamental changes two weeks before the start of the festival hurts incredibly. Due to the massively increasing number of infections and at the same time a lack of measures and communication on the part of the federal government, we as the organizer no longer see the safety of our audience, guests and the team in the originally planned form of the event.

The focus of the festival work is shifting: crisis management instead of content design, short-term restructuring instead of networks and exchange with colleagues and the public.

We have created a completely new festival concept, and we are looking forward to its publication at the beginning of the coming week despite everything - hoping that our audience will understand these changes and will enjoy and shape the coming festival together with us - in whatever form.

OPENING FILM

FLEE

by Jonas Poher Rasmussen

DK, FR, SE, NO | 86 min

This year's opening film FLEE demonstrates the versatility of cinematic narrative possibilities. Animations and archival footage are the tools Jonas Poher Rasmussen uses to narrate the life of his school friend, who had to flee Afghanistan as a minor in the 1980s. Since the main protagonist must remain anonymous, the filmmaker works with the pseudonym Amin Nawabi, making it possible to tell the true story of an escape for the first time after 20 years. Rasmussen develops a cinematic language that allows the telling of a story which the protagonist himself is not in the position to articulate.

With the possibility of locating the past in the now and establishing a connection to current events, the film builds a bridge that triggers a reflection: Who has the power to tell their own story? Which stories remain unheard because of the impossibility of telling them? What do risk and security mean for those telling their stories?

Festival Trailer - This Human World 2021

We are very happy to present this years trailer for the This Human World Film Festivals 2021 created and directed by Enar de Dios Rodríguez.

Description

Composed by a quick succession of static satellite images, the trailer might function as a visual metaphor that evokes different aspects of the Capitalocene: from tunnel visions and overhead perspectives, to human footprints and surveillance instincts. Because there is a control that emerges by bringing things to sight, you know? Can't you see it?

Credits

Directed/written/edited by Enar de Dios Rodríguez
Soundtrack by nara is neus and Valentí Adell
Voice over by Hannah Gardiner
Satellite images from Mapbox
