The concept behind the IC of the 58th TIFF
The International Competition section of the 58th Thessaloniki International Film Festival is comprised of 14 films, three of which are Greek. This year the festival proposes a subversive way to approach the art of cinema, by selecting the IC films in the light of a universal idea and a timeless wish: The Need for Roots, inspired by the seminal book of the same title by the French social philosopher and activist Simone Weil, one of the most iconic intellectuals of the 20th century.
