The three festivals steirischer herbst, Diagonale and doxs! and the One World Filmclubs project have joined forces in order to present an overview of their films to a wider public of young people.
Admission free for school classes – the entrance of 5 € per person has very kindly been absorbed by the cities as well as sponsors and partners.
While the programme is intended mainly for young people aged 13 or over, it is available for anyone interested.

Feature and documentary films are perhaps the central medium for introducing people to a critical discussion about politics, history and art. Sadly, films produced especially for children and young people are rarely seen in mainstream cinema and television. The three festivals steirischer herbst, Diagonale and doxs! and the One World Filmclubs project have therefore joined forces this year for “doxs & shorts – Festival films on tour in Styria” in order to present an overview of their films to a wider public of young people.
In special presentations at selected cinemas in Graz and many other Styrian towns, we are offering an exploration of the contents of our festival productions and the medium of film as a media education programme for schools, afterschool care facilities and interested young people outside the context of school.
After the screenings, there is the possibility to talk to selected directors, actors, cinematographers and protagonists of the documentaries.
Fitting for the subject graphics, German, ethics, geography, history and religion.

How do we communicate when we are no longer able to say anything? When our words, our languages, our systems seem to be incompatible? When all means of communication break down, how can we still get to the point? Exchange and collaborate? What “signs” are translatable, so they do not fail when used in interchange, but tell us something instead?

If someone builds borders, it’s because they want to protect themselves. But from what? Do borders offer protection from “the others”, or are we not instead creating “the other” by postulating boundaries in the first place? What does migration mean – in social, cultural, historical terms?

Who or what defines our images of centre and periphery, of Europe and “the rest of the world”? How do the notions of good and evil come about, that separate us from the supposed “others”? “Protecting our values” is a phrase frequently invoked during discussions concerning globalisation and migration. Yet aren’t these “values” also the very reason why and how we see “the others” as different?
