News | NEW SECTIONS

This year, Panorama's new sections focus on universal and individual issues that are reflected in different storylines and have already been present in the Festival, though never been conceptually grouped. For instance, Law of Desire strings together titles that refer to sex as a vital drive in human life, notably Q (Trailer) by French director Laurent Bouhnik and the provocative documentaries Il n’y a pas de rapport sexuel and Buy Me; and Pagan Visions ventures into territories opposed to any sacralization and having their own particular rituals, such as those of farmers in Battle of the Queens and those of ravers in Anna Pavlova Lives in Berlin, or the private world of talented artist León Ferrari in Civilización. Other brand new sections, like Adolescences and Trances, promise similar quality.

The same occurs with Family Album, about the vicissitudes and particular stories of the great Western institution, with interesting works such as the Chilean documentary Hija and a warm look at two 9-year-old twin sisters, Martina and Micaela, the engrossing lead characters of Los días, by Argentine Ezequiel Yanco. And Space Odysseys – Cinema and Architecture comes as a natural consequence of the Festival’s taste in the selection of films, for those documentaries that portray the success and failure of different construction ventures carried out by the human race.
