Another interesting aspect of this years edition of the festival is the many films with stories told from the viewpoint of a minority e.g gender, ethnical or political. Some stories are difficult to follow if you don’t know enough about the context, while the best ones hit a more universal chord. I was quite taken by the French film BPM, set in France in the early 80’s when activists worked hard to raise awareness about the HIV-virus and urged the politicians to do more to stop the epidemia and give more resources to research to find better medicines.
