MANIFESTO OF THE FESTIVAL

The Politically Incorrect Film Festival is constructing political corectness, possible only by reappraisal of concepts and merrits which border and overcome its discourse. PI-FF provokes the ones, who have a clear vision of what is ethical, correct, political,... and what not.

PI-FF therefore screenes films, discovering verges between what is legitimate and what is legal, while confronting us with individual views lost in this chasm and those which produced it. PI-FF opens the communication between the opposing fields. Together with visitors of the festival PI-FF allows opened borders of political/impolitical, correct/incorrect, which are researched by discussing the films.

The film author's point of view is limited by the borders of elementary concepts, patched together in his expression. The author can use different film forms of expression (short, feature, animated, documentary, fiction, experimental film) for capturing the contents of perception and ethics with signs of film language.

We welcome the author's courage and creativity.

------------------------------------------------

PI-FF is a low budget film festival, therefore films will be projected in VHS, BETA, DVD and other video formats, although they were originally shot on 35 mm film.

The program and the means of PI-FF cross the borders of a film festival with opening new spaces for film projections. In events along the film projections the festival is spreading the PI-FF idea with other forms of expression (essays, discussions, music etc.).
