Pre-empting the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, IDFA presents a focus program that explores our world as a post-war world. It Still Hurts is the largest focus program of IDFA 2019, with a range of titles that raise questions on the many ways contemporary life is still defined by WWII — from case studies about the cold war and postcolonialism to cinematic meditations on victims and perpetrators.

Besides a wide-ranging film program, It Still Hurts also showcases an exhibition of three pieces by research agency Forensic Architecture.
