The links are displayed as for the entire year, while our elbow room has been severely limited: no festival trips, no buttons and can be found in the texts or in the footer. The footer also functions as a path, new impressions, no vivid exchange when the credits roll and the audience leaves the showing the currently active level of the catalog. theater—instead, we were stuck in a digital world between lackadaisical work meetings, Zoom panels, and pajama-heavy jury deliberations. Please allow your PDF reader to access the internet upon request in order to use this helpful feature. Yet while we’re still yearning for the energy of in-person meetings, the world has grown a bit smaller almost unnoticed—and our elbow room has expanded considerably. We’ve found close and trusted allies across Europe with whom, it seemed, we spent more e.g. Footer: e.g. Trailer: time than with our roommates and partners. We’ve strengthened our productive festival friendships with Diagonale in Graz and Crossing Europe in Linz and reached a comple- tely new audience with our revamped online film portal and the platform THIS IS SHORT. SELECTION FIDO FIDO 6 TRAILER After so many months of uncertainty, it is great to see that working from home, in that triangle of bed–fridge–desk, has yielded some inspiring certainties as well: for instance, that you don’t have to go very far for the most amazing journeys—maybe just to the nearest cinema. We look forward to seeing you there!
