This year, the festival hosts films from 16 countries, spread across its 11 sections of various sizes and themes. Besides the regular sections, special thematic programmes take the shape of Tales from the Epicentre, dedicated to stories about the crisis-stricken city of Wuhan; Bruised Youth, in which films look at how young people recover from their traumatic experiences; United, We Stand, a showcase of the power of solidarity in testing times, and Memories and Erasure, where documentaries tell us not to let go of the past even if the pain's over.
