Programme

Solar walk
Chaos is beautiful. Chaos is cosmic. A remarkable journey through time and space.
Hungary 2018 Dir Reka Buksi 21min

Augur
During a harsh winter, a river by the house of two cousins freezes over. In the cold wind, their relationship grows bitter, reaching its limits.
Portugal/France 2018 Dir David Doutel, Vasco Sa 15min

The Death, Dad and Son
Death’s son does not wish to follow in his father’s footsteps and take over the family business. Instead he dreams of becoming a guardian angel, which leads to unexpected events.
France 2017 Dir Denis Walgenwitz, Winshluss 13min

Finity Calling
Five people are seated at a table, their withered bodies adorned with lush fabrics and jewellery. Tense and unsettling, soon the fragile atmosphere within the group is broken.
Netherlands/Belgium 2018 Dir Jasper Kuipers 15min

Mermaids and Rhinos
A surreal navigation of family memories, mermaid grandmothers, and grotesque and bizarre characters hungry for love.
Hungary 2017 Dir Viktoria Traub 15min

Reruns
Everything’s different but nothing has changed. A trip through a sunken maze of memories and dreams.
Netherlands 2017 Dir Rosto 14min

La Chute
When otherworldly residents come to Earth, the world order is completely overturned. It is the start of a tragic chain of events involving hell and paradise.
France 2018 Dir Boris Labbe 14min
