Film, like all art, is an act of resistance against forgetting. This forum will explore how filmmakers use cinema to preserve memory, challenge injustice, and reimagine cultural touchstones for new generations. Whether chronicling stolen children seeking truth, an artist’s magnum opus, families redefining belonging, or Dorothy’s enduring symbolism, these stories remind us that art leaves legacies that outlive us. This forum explores how film transforms struggle into beauty, silence into testimony, and individual vision into collective memory.
