Besides films, this year, the festival featured photographs taken by the children from the workshops run by the NGO, Lines of Grey (LOG). Lines of Grey seeks to take photography to the doorsteps of marginalized children in communities around the world. The result is a fascinating insight into their thought processes and the joys of artistic discovery [press release].
