RIFF AROUND TOWN

RIFF around town has been a part of the festival for many years, and we’re excited to continue this fantastic project. A selection of the festival’s program, the so-called one minutes, will be shown in various locations around the city, creating a unique cultural experience for passersby and visitors.

The One Minutes Foundation, located in the Netherlands, produces and distributes one minute videos from an artistic point of view, offering an international stage for people to create and connect. Every two months a new series is released. More at theoneminutes.org.

Passing the Love

19min

The series employs intimate portraits of individuals, friends, families, and collectives as a tool for circulating affection and serves as a visual diary of emotional landscapes. It draws upon love — a vital force that sustains us through darkness. The films encapsulate moments of care, longing, vulnerability, forgetting and becoming.
