Meanwhile, the first eight films of the Forum programme will aim to “explore the possibilities of the voice-over, dare to let text and image diverge or work with a deliberately restricted stock of images to allow their soundtracks to reverberate all the more.” Among this year’s European picks are Fiona Tan’s father-daughter epistolary tale Dearest Fiona [+lire aussi :
