Celebrating means appreciating the here and now. To push all the worries aside just for a little while, and float with the roaring music of the current moment. It is the time to stop and feel how the body fills with gratitude. The time to share joy, savour meaningful conversation, burn with new passions.

Let’s celebrate youth as well as old age through films, let’s celebrate diversity, the various identities and personal experiences of each of us. Mezipatra will give you the courage to discover those parts of yourselves yet unexplored. It’s because the search for joy is just as important for the heroes of this year’s film program as it is for us.
