Art4more focuses on various representations of diversity in films, plays and plastic art, as viewed through the camera, body movement and works of artists from home and abroad, as well as on the scientific application of art as a means of psychotherapy.
Original film works were selected via the festival’s international competition sections as well as from award-winning collections of two festivals from abroad supporting ‘Art4More’: ‘Rendezvous with Madness’ International Film Festival (Canada) and ‘Corto Del Med’ International Alternative Mediterranean Festival (France).
