Reflective Encounters | 29th Encounters Film Festival (2023)
Reflective Encounters was borne out of a belief that you can’t have a great film culture without a great film criticism culture. By inviting several critics to the festival and encouraging them to respond and engage with the films available at Encounters, the hope is that Reflective Encounters offers a space in which a better film culture can be built. These short pieces are intended to start a conversation – between the filmmaker and writer, between the audience and the film, between yourself and the person sitting next to you.
