, which opened in Amsterdam Wednesday, is that although the majority of the films on offer either deal with the world as it is today or how it used to be, a significant portion of the festival’s appeal is the way that it acts as a hothouse to develop films that will offer us a pathway through the world of tomorrow.’s Forum program has become synonymous with innovation.
