The theme of this year's festival is Rebels of Tomorrow, inviting artists to reflect on the hypothetical future scenarios – both utopian and dystopian, including the human and the machine relationship, the ubiquitous presence of technologies, AI and robots in our everyday lives, etc.

Nevertheless, it also allows to address the current socio-political issues, such as equality, sustainability, resilience and others.

The festival is a keen supporter of inter-, cross- and transdisciplinarity leading to creation of unprecedented works of art and interaction between disciplines and artists.
