The heart of this edition revolves around the captivating synergy between the performing act and the fictional artifact within the world of cinema. Our central focus is to spotlight films that ignite thought-provoking conversations about corporeality and the human form in both real-world scenarios and imaginative narratives.

Documenting Realities: The Facto Fiction Films underscores the vital role of various elements, including the backdrop, spaces, landscapes, and locations, in juxtaposition with the characters, subjects, performers, and actors on the cinematic canvas. From the raw authenticity of direct cinema and verité-style films featuring natural actors, to the intricate narrative intricacies of re-enactments, psychedelic and experimental ethnographic tales, and films that seamlessly blend theater strategies with natural settings.
