Morality is Witte de With's year-long leitmotiv, defining an assemblage of projects subdivided into several acts. They include six group exhibitions, a symposium, performance program, publication and web platform. Act III is the film cycle titled And the moral of the story is…
This curated program presents moral tales as told by artists and film-makers through the medium of the moving image. The films range from mainstream to art-house movies, from technically complex works with elaborate scripts and settings to hand-held, "homemade" films. Due to the ease of its digital production, reproduction and distribution (legal or otherwise), film is now a ubiquitous medium. Used and abused in the form of propaganda, or employed more subtly to reinforce (and undermine) dominant modes of thinking in society, film is one of the most sophisticated ways to transmit a moral message or explore a moral question.
