How do we keep a positive outlook on tomorrow without harboring the naïve hope that everything will somehow turn out all right ? How do people manage to develop a confident attitude even though external circumstances are frightening? Confidence does not only mean a positive attitude towards the future. Confidence also stands for a mental strength that helps us overcome challenges and get through difficult times.
“Even when things don’t turn out well, margins can be found. That is the core of confidence,” says publicist and science editor Ulrich Schnabel.
FILM WITHOUT BORDERS wants to trace ZUVERSICHT/CONFIDENCE with its 11th edition – in more than 20 films, discussion rounds, conversations with filmmakers, philosophers and experts.
We look forward to a varied program and a stimulating exchange from August 31th to September 3rd at the 11th international film festival at Scharmützelsee !
Yours
Susanne Suermondt, Tanya Berndsen & Yvonne Borrmann
