“The question is not who are but, but why are we.”
The idea that we are who we make ourselves sometimes strains against the point-of-view of others. In this selection of films, identity, both assumed and realized, is a key focus. Some stories look at the lies we tell ourselves and others to avoid detection. Others make it clear that we can become who we pretend to be, though not without a little bit of help. This globe-spanning program examines who we are as individuals, and what happens when we come together and form a new identity out of that.
