PFF 2021
The fourteenth edition of Perspectives Film Festival: Breakthroughs in Cinema presents: WHAT THE __?!
Whether uttered in hushed tones or shouted at the top of our lungs, cinema at its most daring and audacious resists categorisation, dancing along the fine line of the comprehensible and the eccentric, revealing and reveling in the grimy underbelly of existence. And if the films so much as elicit a bewildered scratch on your head, or spawn a spirited conversation, you are—at the very least—forced to fill in the blanks.

Who Says Anger and Hate Are Ugly
