individual destinies
Det var stor bredde innholdsmessig så vel som når det gjaldt formløsninger på de innsendte filmene. Den personlige dokumentaren står stadig sterkt. På sitt beste gir den gripende innblikk i enkeltskjebner, men kan også ende som selvsentrert dokumen
Among the submissions there was a wide range in terms of both content and formal style. The personal documentary still holds a strong position. At its best it allows for a stirring glimpse into individual destinies, but can also end up as self-absorbed do
