For example the festival in Cannes - above all it is a social event, where the sense of film art creates just a background. This Prague festival is less spectacular but the intention to wake up people from their lethargy and make them aware of horrors that we would rather not see and like to forget is more honest. Film is a fiction and it applies to documentaries as well. But it does have a power to open people's eyes, to show them the reality from different angle and to draw their attention on things they maybe know they exist but are not aware of them. We live in a real time, people surround us, but very often we are just passing them.
Film is capable of pointing the light on the dark sides of our souls.
