uphill.

Aarhus Filmfestival goes uphill to the university to present a selection of films which maybe could have or should have made it to this year’s official programme if programming slots hadn’t been so tight and the Festival Director had not been so strict about eligibility within the festival profile. Judge for yourself – and above all, enjoy!
