Themes

In Chosen by YOU you decide which five cinema highlights of this year, which have not been shown by us before, can be seen in March during the Movies that Matter Festival 2022.

Festival Favourites are audience favourites that have proven their quality at international festivals.

Recent and urgent films from and about Afghanistan, showing the far-reaching consequences of the latest developments on film makers and human rights. 

The transition into a sustainable future is a slow one. What is needed to speed it up? And what dilemmas does this entail? 

Colourful, diverse, and sparkling theme programme about the right to be yourself and to love whoever you want. 

Films about uneven power relations. And about people taking on forces and structures that seem bigger than themselves.
