PDSFF27 | SHOCKWAVES
Our world is shaped by shockwaves: violent spikes testing the limits of what we thought was possible. Politics become explosions, earthquakes and colliding cosmic bodies, forcing sudden pressure waves upon us, destroying our surroundings. So what remains after another wave of urge washes over us? What can we gather from the ground before the next wave buries everything again?
Shockwaves are fast and destructive, but we can find ways to hijack them, to use them for transformation, even healing. In the dips between our struggles, we need to find the power – not only to catch our breath – but to experience joy, allowing us to stand together against the flow, not go with it.
With care and joy, we build a momentum capable of resisting the pressure of the upcoming waves. We will not be swayed.
About PDSFF
Gender, sexuality, race, class, ethnicity, religion, able-bodiedness influence our present and future, life prospects and obstructions. Shedding light on life paths of “others” – often through realism and humor and other times through abstraction and experimentation – Positively Different Short Film Festival aims to act as a reference point for raising awareness with regards to intersectionality and discrimination, providing a safe space for co-creation and networking.
