SERGEI LOZNITSA'S RETROSPECTIVE 
According to the critics and the most attentive observers the real revelation of the Cannes Film Festival 2010 was the “first feature film” MY JOY, by Sergei Loznitsa. However Loznitsa is anything but a debutant, having been imposed since the late 90's as one of the most considerable contemporary filmmakers, even if his works are little known even by many experts. Trieste Film Festival devotes to the author a complete retrospective of his work of 12 films from '96 to today.

THE "REAL" CINEMA OF DUŠAN HANÁK
A tribute to the master of Slovak cinema, great filmmaker, an influential representative of the "nova vlnà", a critic and troublesome author for the regime which for years has frozen his socially-engaged works, including the four famous films we present in this homage. A sensitive painter and photographer, now Hanák teaches at the Faculty of Film and Television University of Bratislava.

WALLS OF SOUND. A BETTER TOMORROW
Third stage for this experience started during the 20th edition of the Trieste Film Festival with a selection of films and documentaries based on the music subject and produced in the Central Eastern areas. The 22nd edition will explore on the one hand some current and less-known music scenes and some social phenomena which characterized the arising and the achievement of youth rebellion movements in Central Europe. On the other hand the 22nd edition will continue to discover the individual artistic experiences which bring out the concept of music as a personal and social driving force. Music as a reason of life and as a concrete hope for a better future.
