In the past years, we have seen a tendency for short films to get longer, and features to get shorter. Since 2014 IFFR highlights a new format on the rise: the mid-length film, between 45 and 62 minutes. The Bright Future Mid-length programme of 2018 consists of ten films, five of which are world premieres. From a tale of revenge in the Mexican desert to the reincarnation of Walter Benjamin taking the Staten Island Ferry. After each screening there will be extra time to meet the director.
Good Evening to the People Living in the Camp, Joost Conijn, France/Greece/Netherlands, 2018, world premiere
The long awaited new work by Dutch artist and filmmaker Joost Conijn: an unorthodox portrait of refugees in Europe.
La muerte del maestro/Death of the Master, José María Avilés, Ecuador/Argentina, 2018, world premiere
A remarkable debut by Florian Haag who sketches the rigorous portrait of Swiss writer Robert Walser.
