Niki Lindroth von Bahr’s ‘Something to Remember’ Wins International Award
Because we know that the days immediately after the festival are always the hardest, we’ve made proper preparations and uploaded a lot of impressions from the last few days to our picture galleries on the website and to social media. Explore them at your leisure and look forward to the next edition of Fantoche, which will take place from September 7 to 12, 2021.
