BIDF 2026 Pécs
The documentaries in this year’s Pécs program of BIDF examine how political decisions, ideologies, and historical events shape individual lives through concrete situations and personal stories. The selection focuses on life circumstances in which questions of adaptation, resistance, belief, and responsibility emerge on an everyday level.
The films come from diverse geographical and social contexts, yet they reveal comparable experiences: the militarization of education, the mechanisms of power, the functioning of disinformation, and the long-term consequences of family and personal decisions. The emphasis lies not on dramatizing events, but on observing them with consistency and precision.
The Pécs screenings present works that do not offer simple interpretive frameworks. Instead, they leave room for differing perspectives and invite the viewer into an active mode of attention.
