Press Release of the 13th Balkans Beyond Borders Short Film Festival Athens Edition
The 13th BBB Short Film Festival - Athens Edition, with this year’s theme ‘Untiling the mosaic’, comes to Athens from the 1st to the 4th of December at Trianon cinema. After the 13th Balkans Beyond Borders Short Film Festival in Bitola, North Macedonia, this October, the festival travels back to its hometown, Athens, under the Twin Cities approach it follows these last few years. During the
1st and 4th of December, the 13th BBB Short Film Festival - Athens Edition, will develop upon intersectionality and diverse identities, through its multi-thematic character, which includes the competition programme, tribute screenings, audiovisual and performing arts, a series of workshops titled ‘Untiling the mosaic: LABS’, discussions and events.
The festival’s theme this year is titled ‘Untiling the mosaic’ and builds upon notions of identity, diversity, inclusivity and visibility. By seeing the world as a mosaic structured with an abundance of tiles which are different to each other, we get the opportunity to observe each tile separately but also in the context of the world’s mosaic. In ‘untiling’, in de-constructing, lies the opportunity to re-structure and re-build the mosaic of our social reality.
