The On the Road Film Festival is an independent festival of international significance which follows an original path inspired by travel, geographical wandering, making a track across wild lands and city landscapes. The cue for this the eighth season is the principal based on the ‘Path of Least Resistance’, a concept based on and borrowed from the second law of thermodynamics by which, water, for example, in its never-ending journey, always searches for the way which poses the least possible resistance.
A principle which grows into the Toaist philosophy of Wu wei, the non-action or better the understanding of when to act and when not to do so, when there is a prospect of harmony, equilibrium, economy and concentration of the forces.
A sober reminder to never put out the flame of Reason, while we turn to breathe in the warring fetid breathe at the heart of Europe.
