The term invectivity refers to all aspects of communication intended to expose and insult – regardless of whether they are verbal, written or visual. Films are able to fathom the limits of what may be borne or expressed. With its focus on invectivity, the question is being posed here once more about the power and function of the film medium for (democratic) society.

Five shortfilms from  Portugal, Brasil, Great Britain, Indonesia and Sweden will be presented.
