In line with New Horizons’ slogan for this year, “Cinema goes OUT”, the festival will seek out alternative narratives by organising retrospectives of visionary Portuguese filmmakers João César Monteiro and Pedro Costa, as well as Nicolas Roeg. As expected, the festival will join in with the centenary celebrations for Ingmar Bergman under the umbrella of the international Bergman100 project by screening films, and running an exhibition and an interactive installation. Finally, the special sections of New Horizons include a look at contemporary Iranian cinema.
