A portrait originally deals with the representation of a character. Portrait workshop films expand the discussion of the relationship that exists in cinema between a character and an event, moving in the middle between internal worlds of mirrors and disintegrated identities, and external worlds in which the portrait takes on broader meanings – artistic, political and ethical.

This year, the workshop examined the relationship between a character and the borders which define him or her, inwards and outwards. The characters were required to stand out, examine and cross boundaries to move forward.
