AFFR edition 2017 - City For Sale
During the ninth AFFR edition, the theme City for Sale was central. The festival zoomed in on the city as a commodity. What are the consequences of international capital flows on society? What about those investment models? The theme was reflected in many films, talk shows and debates.
