Artistic director John McGrath said: "At MIF19 we see a whole host of artists looking to the future – some with hope, some with imagination and some with concern. We never impose themes on the artists we work with, but it's striking how this year's programme reflects our complicated times in often surprisingly joyous and unexpected ways. "
